South County Open House
Research shows new businesses that utilize a business incubator greatly increase their likelihood not just to survive but flourish. Like infants, startups benefit from the support of a nurturing environment and strong support system such as St. Louis Enterprise Centers.
Because seeing is believing, the Enterprise Centers will host an open house, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., Wednesday, July 15 inviting area businesses to visit its 315 Lemay Ferry Road location and learn about how their company can benefit from the Enterprise Centers' support services and office space at affordable, below-market rates. Prospects also will have the opportunity to tour the Center and meet current incubator tenants. |
