Start Fort Wayne is proud to present our next installment of the START SESSION series of community discussions focused on entrepreneurship, innovation, and ecosystem development.

In this installment we will discuss minority owned business concerns, the impact of DBE certification, and the need to encourage and support the development of a DBE certified ecosystem to help our community compete for federal funding and thrive during economic recession.

START SESSION: Inclusive Economies will take place Thursday, September 28th, from 5-7pm at Carr Workplaces – Electric Works (1690 Broadway Building 19 Suite 10, Fort Wayne, IN 46802).

A panel discussion will take place from 5-6pm, followed by networking from 6-7pm at Union Street Market. Attendees will receive a $5 gift card for a beverage or snack during the networking hour.

RSVP is required to assist us with headcount/planning – tickets are by donation to keep this event accessible to everyone, and we are always incredibly grateful to donors that help us offset the costs of this event. Register here.
