community partners are important partners
CED has never underestimated the power of collaboration. In fact, it is the foundation that our organization was built on. We champion regional success by activating partners across the state.
Today, CED is focused on aligning with resources that have complementary mission-based offerings and are working towards strengthening the entrepreneurial ecosystem in North Carolina. Those resources come in different shapes and sizes, and may offer knowledge, financial support, or both. You might ask, what do these resources have in common? The answer is simple. They all make a significant contribution to supporting the growth of entrepreneurial companies alongside CED.
