Join Other Innovators in Pursuing Shared Economic Prosperity
The Economic Opportunity pillar supports entrepreneurial ecosystems and technology-based economic development that create social impact and drive economic success for all. The Partnership's Innovate for All (IA) Program, launched in 2020, helped our funded projects secure $12.3M in additional funding, supported 1,500 people, 221 businesses and created 111 access to capital opportunities.
As our pillar grows, we must take new approaches to supporting the communities we serve. We are refocusing our efforts to solve new challenges in supporting entrepreneurial ecosystems across the Southeast and will no longer accept new applications for the program. We look forward to enhancing the entrepreneurial landscape through The Partnership’s Leaders Program.
Leaders Program
For aspiring leaders and ecosystem builders, the Leaders Program provides a transformative experience through a community team cohort model of development. The program’s primary focus is to foster inclusive innovation, public-private collaborations, build and sustain a regional network of social capital and elevate the development of a team to actively lead the building and strengthening of their local innovation and entrepreneurial community.
