Building on Asheville's Strengths

Asheville is a forward-thinking business community, with multiple innovative programs that foster a strong business environment and uphold a firm vision for the region’s future progress.

The Asheville Hub project is one such initiative, designed in collaboration with a host of public, private, and nonprofit organizations to promote innovation and rising productivity through a web of collaborative strategies. The Asheville Hub promotes intentional collaboration among organizations interested in encouraging economic, community, and cultural development for Asheville and Buncombe County.

This remarkable enterprise – along with those of business development organizations like the Asheville Media Arts Project (MAP), Meet the Geeks, Education & Research Services (ERS), ERC Broadband, and the Asheville-Buncombe Technical College Business Incubator – have been catalysts for creating a robust economy whose community resources and innovative thinking are always within reach.
