AdvanTech is a non-profit, small business incubator designed to foster companies that are in the sec-ond stage of business development. In 1999, the Economic Development Authority of the City of Richmond, in cooperation with the Department of Commerce Economic Development Administration and the Commonwealth of Virginia's Department of Business Assistance, contributed resources to create the first small business incubator in the Greater Richmond area.
ie-rva.org
The Greater Richmond Chamber launched the i.e* movement to transform this city from a civil-war attraction into a nationally renowned hotbed of creative talent. We subscribe to the notion that the best and the brightest people and companies are attracted to the most innovative cities. At the i.e.* launch event in June 2011, we exchanged ideas with innovators on the front lines of their industries and became inspired, motivated, and energized. Afterward, the momentum has been going strong with Shop Classes, Bar Talks, The Entrepreneurial Trilogy, with more to come.
