Economic Development Week

Celebrate Economic Development Week with your community and IEDC!

Since 2016, IEDC’s Economic Development Week has been a time to celebrate the incredible impact that economic development organizations and professionals have in their communities. This year, we’re shining a spotlight on the Power of Partnerships—the collaborations that drive innovation, growth, and lasting change in local economies. 

In just a few short years, #EconDevWeek has become a widely recognized celebration of economic development efforts, amplifying the critical work of the profession through media coverage and millions of social media impressions. Now’s your chance to join in and highlight the transformative partnerships that are making a difference! 

Share your community's successes with the #EconDevWeek Toolkit!

Access the toolkit to learn how to articulate, organize, show and tell, and amplify the value of your Economic Development Organization's contributions to local and regional economies.

"Economic Development is a challenging path with great rewards and fantastic potential...Sometimes we just need to believe it can be done. All it takes is trust. Trust in our partners, in our communities, and in our ability to create change. Si se puede!"

                                      


Juliana da Cruz
Economic Development Coordinator
City of Issaquah, WA

"In a single day I'll dig into the code around leasehold tax, meet with a small bike shop owner, and develop a program to increase tourism in our town. Everyday is something new, and it's great to be out in the community on the daily."

"Economic development is an art that requires all stakeholders at the table to guide the community in developing business interest, engagement, workforce development and infrastructure improvements. All of which should help improve community quality of life."
