Who Gets The Opportunities as Columbus Grows?

As Columbus continues to attract new investment, development, businesses, and major projects, our local economy is creating new possibilities. But who has access to those opportunities, and what does it take for local businesses to participate?

As part of The Big Table, Aventi is hosting a conversation, Who Gets the Opportunity as Columbus Grows, bringing together business owners, buyers, corporate and public-sector leaders, and community partners for a candid conversation about economic opportunity in our region.

Together, we’ll explore how businesses find and access opportunities, the barriers that can limit participation, what organizations need from local suppliers, and how we can build stronger pathways connecting capable businesses to contracts, relationships, capital, and growth.

This is not a workshop, but rather a conversation about how we can ensure that as Columbus grows, more local businesses have an opportunity to grow with it.
