Launched in November 2020, NWI BizHub connects Northwest Indiana entrepreneurs and small business owners to the right resources at the right time, no matter where they are in their journey of starting, accelerating or expanding their business.
NWI BizHub’s mission is to help small businesses in northwest Indiana thrive by providing entrepreneurs and small business owners with free, easy access to the vital assistance, resources, and information they need—when they need it.
Legacy Foundation, Crown Point Community Foundation and Unity Foundation of La Porte County, the Northwest Indiana Small Business Development Center and the Center of Workforce Innovations united in an effort to improve the entrepreneurial infrastructure in Northwest Indiana through NWI BizHub. This effort is rooted in the September 2018 strategic plan Ignite the Region: A Regional Strategy for Economic Transformation. That report identified an “underdeveloped entrepreneurial culture and ecosystem” as a weakness of the region. The report specifically calls for building “a regional entrepreneurship and innovation ecosystem asset map to help entrepreneurs, startup companies, and investors to navigate the state’s existing resources and networks.”
We invite small business owners and entrepreneurs to visit NWI BizHub today to learn about the available resources!
