2025 NC IDEA Ecosystem Summit

Join us at the NC IDEA Ecosystem Summit will bring together leaders across various sectors to celebrate entrepreneurship and increase awareness of entrepreneurial-led economic development. By focusing on making our state the top destination for starting and scaling businesses, we’re driving lasting change.

If you’re eager to explore how entrepreneurship can redefine economic growth, this event is for you. Instead of relying on traditional “smokestack chasing,” which emphasizes attracting large industries, we’re advocating for strategic investments in entrepreneurs who build businesses from the ground up. Join hundreds of accomplished peers in this important conversation, as we work together to position North Carolina as the best place for entrepreneurship.
