What’s the best way to create new jobs in the inner city and support urban economic development? How can we create a streetwise small business program that meets the needs of today’s up-and-coming urban entrepreneurs?
Through practice and applied research, InnerCity Entrepreneurs (ICE) promotes job creation, wealth generation, and community development by helping a diverse group of urban entrepreneurs strengthen and grow their existing businesses. ICE partners with community-based organizations to offer a "streetwise M.B.A."™: a unique nine-month certificate program that facilitates access to new markets, capital, and knowledge through management training, peer-to-peer learning, and networking opportunities. After graduation, ICE entrepreneurs continue to work together as part of the ICE Alumni Network. ICE also conducts research on best practices for urban economic development.
