In November 2019, NC IDEA hosted the first-ever statewide Ecosystem Summit with the ambition to redefine economic development through entrepreneurship. The Summit was an unprecedented gathering of nearly 500 individuals and organizations who support, encourage and nourish North Carolina’s entrepreneurs. The 2019 Ecosystem Summit centered on the theme of “Redefining Equitable Economic Development,” steering our discussions and demonstrating how entrepreneurship fuels innovation and elevates our state to new heights.
