Small businesses stand at the heart of local economies, often punching above their weight in spurring innovation and community development. Recognizing this, the City of Raleigh is once again dedicating a space for these vital enterprises to flourish at the Small, Emerging, and Under-Resourced Business Summit. Slated for October 15 at the Greg Poole, Jr. All Faiths Chapel, the event promises a congregation of ideas and initiatives under the theme 'Pathways to Prosperity.' According to details obtained from a City of Raleigh's announcement, the summit will run from 4:30 to 7 p.m., and attendees can expect to rub shoulders with a cadre of local entrepreneurs and various business showcases.
The program will feature a panel discussing North Carolina’s economic future, shaped by local entrepreneurs. Business showcases will highlight new ideas in goods, services, and construction, while networking opportunities will help attendees build connections. Registration is available through Eventbrite.
The summit is supported by partners such as Wake County Public Schools, Wake County Government, the NC DBE and HUB Offices, and North Carolina State University.
