EDCO focuses on helping companies do the following:

Move. We guide employers outside the region through the relocation process as a resource for regional data, incentives, talent, site selection, and more.
Start. We mentor and advise scalable young companies from concept to exit on issues such as access to capital, critical expertise, and strategy.
Grow. We help local traded‐sector* companies expand by finding suppliers, workforce sourcing, permitting, and incentives.

Impacts of EDCO:
• Diversifying the regional economy through development and growth of key industries: advanced manufacturing, brewing & distilling, bioscience & medical devices, outdoor recreation & apparel, and high technology.
