The SmartUp North Charleston Spring Showcase will bring together business owners, resource providers, local government representatives, community partners and graduate student analysts over a delicious meal as we discuss the current projects of SmartUp. We will also tour Fresh Future Farms which is located in the Chicora neighborhood of North Charleston.
SmartUp supports local businesses committed to local hiring. We provide technical assistance to businesses and work to transform communities. In addition to North Charleston, SmartUp programs also support work in Elizabeth City and the Triad Area of North Carolina.
SmartUp programs are built on the existing framework of the Kenan Institute’s flagship economic development program, NCGrowth. NCGrowth’s mission is to help businesses and communities create good jobs and equitable opportunities through applied research and technical assistance.
