Accelerate Impact Breakfast
2025-05-28 09:00 - 11:00 | NC
In 2024, CED stepped boldly into a new chapter. We clarified our purpose, centered founders, and we are building systems that scale. We launched new communities—FORGE, ACCELERATE, and CONNECT—to ensure every startup, investor, and partner knows how to engage and where to grow. And we did it all with one shared goal: to unlock $20 billion in new enterprise value for the region by 2034.
