Tacoma/Pierce County faces an enormous challenge: To rebuild the local economy under realities of COVID and post-pandemic conditions. An important lever for the community resides in entrepreneurs who will pursue an idea into an innovative product or service; start their emerging enterprise through engagement with suppliers and customers; and expand a business with the potential for growth.
Aspiring entrepreneurs who have traditionally been left behind in economic progress - minorities, women and recent immigrants in particular - are vital in the transformation of the marketplace to opportunity and economic health.
