Overcoming Challenges, Seizing Opportunities
Despite past job losses from closures like International Harvester, Fort Wayne Foundry, and others, southeast Fort Wayne is experiencing a resurgence. Economic growth, technology access, and higher education opportunities are paving the way for a new generation of entrepreneurs.
Empowering Through Education and Networking
We’ve crafted a series of workshops, inspired by feedback from local business owners, to provide invaluable insights and opportunities.
Graduates of the Fort Wayne Urban League Destination Ideation, Summit City Entrepreneur and Enterprise District (SEED) Build, and Black Chamber Fort Wayne member business owners are pre-registered for the full week free of charge.
