UPLIFTING RURAL ENTREPRENEURS

Rural North Carolina is home to countless growth-oriented entrepreneurs with the potential to significantly impact both the local and statewide economies. Despite facing limitations, rural entrepreneurs demonstrate remarkable resilience in overcoming access to capital, geographic challenges, and community support, all of which are crucial resources for the success of an entrepreneur.

Through our wide range of programs, NC IDEA has supported several rural initiatives, companies, and events across the state. Through partnerships with Wells Fargo and MDC Inc. we remain committed to uplifting rural entrepreneurship within North Carolina.
