IEDC’s Investment Partnership is a new opportunity for corporate and philanthropic partners implemented in 2024. This partnership goes beyond our typical sponsorship offerings and is designed for those interested in identifying issues for Hill engagement and providing guidance on corporate engagement strategies as well as maintaining traditional sponsor roles.

The IEDC Investment Partnership represents a yearlong commitment to this work. The support enables IEDC to drive key conversations and thought leadership on new and cutting-edge economic development activities, and gives us the ability to provide the resources and support that turn ideas into action, spark growth, and build resilient communities.

Please join us in expressing our utmost gratitude and appreciation to our Investment Partners. We encourage you to visit their websites, see the impact they are making, and connect with them at our upcoming events.
