Partner Spotlight: Small Business and Technology Development Center (SBTDC)
Our primary focus at the Cabarrus Center is to support the creation of new businesses and the growth of existing small businesses through free or low-cost educational and networking programs, mentor networks, capital access and events. We will be doing this in collaboration with a dynamic group of partners and we are very excited to introduce you to all of them!
This week, we’re shining the spotlight on our partners at the Small Business and Technology Development Center (SBTDC) in Charlotte!
The SBTDC is among The University of North Carolina’s business and technology extension.
