ENTREPRENEUR ECOSYSTEM: A YEAR IN REVIEW
Much of the Dan River Region Entrepreneur Ecosystem’s [DRREE] success in 2020 can be attributed to the stakeholders and partners saying “yes” to support this important ecosystem development work. The Ecosystem leadership, partners and affiliates have made an incredible effort this past year, in the midst of a global pandemic, to realize the objectives and goals set forth by an ambitious and robust regional scope of work.

Ecosystem work cannot be done in silos or without the contributions of many -- some exciting updates moving into 2021 include newly established innovative partnerships, and new members joining the group to support the greater mission. The Ecosystem is grateful to Danville Regional Foundation [DRF] for its ongoing support of this work.
