NC IDEA will host its 5th annual Ecosystem Summit on November 13-15, 2023 in the Research Triangle region. The Summit is the only statewide conference that brings together diverse leaders to address what is needed to support all entrepreneurs and create a shared vision of making our state the best place to start and grow a business.

While the audience and topics of past Summits have leaned toward support organizations and community partners, we are adding more targeted content for those we collectively serve, the entrepreneurs. To make all this exciting content and networking fit into one conference, we are also adding a third day to this year’s event!

Since our inaugural Summit in 2019, NC IDEA continues to foster partnerships and unique connections that will make a meaningful difference for North Carolina’s entrepreneurial community. We invite you to join hundreds of accomplished peers working together to redefine equitable economic development practices.
