Join ACG Charleston and the Charleston Regional Development Alliance (CRDA) for an engaging discussion on Charleston Inspired, a bold new strategy to accelerate innovation, investment, and entrepreneurship across our region.

At the heart of Charleston Inspired is a commitment to unlocking access to capital and strengthening the entrepreneurial ecosystem. This vision positions Charleston as a hub where high-growth startups can thrive, investors can discover untapped opportunities, and founders can connect with the resources they need to scale.

Speakers will share insights on strengthening the venture capital and entrepreneurship ecosystem, building pathways for high-growth startups, attracting investment, and cultivating a thriving innovation economy.

This event will bring together business leaders, investors, founders, and community partners to explore how we can collectively expand capital pathways, fuel innovation, and create a resilient, thriving economy for the Charleston region.
