Inside a former turkey processing plant in downtown Springfield, something special is happening. A business incubator, resource hub, support network and all-around great place to be.
We opened our doors in 2013 with one goal: to serve as a one-stop shop for small business owners and entrepreneurs in southwest Missouri. Today our suite of programs cover all the bases.
We’re building the future of business – one bold idea at a time. As Missouri State University’s Center for Business and Economic Development, we’re a go-to resource for business support and talent development. We help companies start strong, grow fast and go further.
Our programs power innovation, fuel job growth, and connect businesses with the people and tools they need to thrive.Â
We’re happy to be part of the IDEA Commons district, MSU’s vision for an urban innovation park.
With every new venture and expanded team, we’re moving the needle – and we’re just getting started.
Unlock potential, spark progress, and turn today’s talent into tomorrow’s leaders.
