Hillsborough's Entrepreneur Collaborative Center (ECC) is hitting a milestone at the decade mark, celebrating its 10th anniversary this upcoming Friday. Located in Ybor City, the ECC has been a hub for budding entrepreneurs, offering support and resources to the likes of would-be caterers, aspiring child care moguls, and coffee shop dreamers. The planned celebration is set to showcase the ECC’s contribution to the local business community. Hillsborough County reports on the upcoming event at 2101 E. Palm Ave., Tampa, FL.
Among the festivities, 10 entrepreneurs, who have flourished with the ECC's aid over the past decade, will return to the center to share their stories riddled with anxious decisions and pivotal triumphs. These narratives aim to not only celebrate success but also offer insight into the trials that come with entrepreneurship.
In addition to honoring these local business achievers, the event will feature a moderated panel consisting of ECC partner agencies, responsible for hosting a multitude of events, seminars, and classes that have fortified the ECC's role in steering small business owners towards the growth of their ventures.
The scheduled panel looks to dissect the components of successful business cultivation, drawing from a decade of community impacts. Entrepreneurs and attendees alike are invited to engage, learn, and be part of Hillsborough's thriving business ecosystem. The free anniversary event will run from 9 to 11 a.m. on Friday, according to the ECC's announcement.
