Centre County has a welcoming and nurturing entrepreneurial ecosystem, with a robust support network at all stages of the entrepreneurial and economic development continuum. With a long history of business incubation -- some of Centre County's most recognizable companies got their starts in CBICC incubators -- the Chamber's mission embraces a significantly broader entrepreneurial development emphasis. Under a historic Memorandum of Agreement signed with Penn State University in 2015, the CBICC partners with the university in supporting Invent Penn State initiatives. Through CBICC membership, entrepreneurs at the earliest stages of business development benefit from valuable connections with experienced, expert business, community, academic and government leaders.
