The focus of the Southern Entrepreneurship in the Arts Conference is on the
business of art. SEA was created with the idea that more artists will succeed
if they have business skills, knowledge, resources, and contacts. Through the
artist-led conferences, SEA helps artists turn their passion into a living.

Southern Entrepreneurship in the Arts Conference is for emerging and mid-career artists, and creative professionals, as well as college and serious high school students.  Its mission is to provide practical resources to help aspiring artists gain the entrepreneurial knowledge and skills needed to establish and maintain a career as an independent artist.  Find out more click here.

The PTP NEXT Business Competition is a business competition, not a business plan competition.  Winners must use their grant award to move the company to its next business level by executing the activities they have outlined in the application.

Startup and existing entrepreneurial companies are eligible.
Companies should demonstrate that they will serve large, expanding markets and that the company has high growth potential.
PTP NEXT is particularly interested in high-growth companies which are aligned with the Piedmont Triad’s strategic assets and growth opportunities.

The Nussbaum Center for Entrepreneurship recently completed renovation of the former Carolina Steel headquarters, creating a new place for the Triad’s entrepreneurs. This relocation has created a better facility to house the 25-year-old community that is the Nussbaum Center.

A few highlights of our space:

• Office space with the flexibility to expand as your business grows
• Infrastructure On Demand: fiber optic high-speed Internet, phones, copy and fax machine
• Meeting and break-out space for client meetings, training sessions and small conferences
• Co-working space for entrepreneurs developing their business plans/ideas

The Nussbaum Center for Entrepreneurship is much more than space, however. It is truly a community of like-minded individuals that are creating thriving businesses and most importantly, jobs.

Starting and growing your own business is a stressful process. The Nussbaum Center helps alleviate this stress through the establishment of a community of Service providers like: SCORE, SBTDC, and the GTCC Small Business Center.

The Center is also home to almost 40 businesses at varying stages of business development. This vibrant atmosphere fosters cooperation and the sharing of ideas, and relieves the sense of being alone present in many office buildings. Unlike other office buildings that only offer space, the Nussbaum Center for Entrepreneurship takes an active part in your business.

Services available at the Nussbaum Center for Entrepreneurship:
• Assistance in Accounting, Marketing and Graphic Design
• Strategic Planning: NCE staff and service providers provide counsel to companies navigating the start-up process
• Access to Nussbaum Center graduates and community business leaders

Space is going fast, so if you are looking for a place to grow your business with the help you need, please visit the Nussbaum Center for Entrepreneurship at 1451 S. Elm Eugene Street and tour the newly renovated facilities. You can also apply to join the incubator online at www.nussbaumcfe.com
