In a nod to the entrepreneurial spirit that keeps local economies thriving, Hillsborough County's Entrepreneur Collaborative Center (ECC) served up a bounty of resources for business owners and would-be moguls this week. Prior to Small Business Saturday, set for Saturday, the ECC opened its doors to host the third Entrepreneur Resource Fair. With over 15 business service organizations, including the City of Tampa and Action Zone, attendees were presented with a kaleidoscope of tools meant to further their business ambitions.
While welcoming a diverse crowd of participants, the ECC focused on supplying a platform for interaction and education. According to information obtained from hcfl.gov, the event is one of two annual gatherings designed to prime business minds for success.
The role of the ECC in bolstering local business cannot be overstated. Functioning as a hub for growth and innovation, the center equips those at the helm of startups and small-to-mid-size enterprises with the crucial support they need. Future entrepreneurs can mark their calendars for the next Resource Fair slated for May.
For the uninitiated or those looking to stay plugged into the ECC's rich vein of resources, a visit to the ECC's online calendar might be in order. There, aspiring magnates can subscribe to a newsletter pulsating with updates on upcoming events and tools tailor-made for the entrepreneurial set. "The ECC is here to inspire, connect, and equip business leaders with the tools they need to move their business forward," as recounted by the published news on hcfl.gov.
