The Emerald Cities Collaborative (ECC) DC Contractor Incubator is designed to empower local small and disadvantaged firms in the District to effectively compete in the 21st-century construction industry.
By focusing on the green building and clean energy sectors, the program strengthens participants’ knowledge, skills, and networks. The incubator offers an eight-week program that includes coaching and strategic business support to ensure that small and minority firms are ready to lead in the District’s growing market for building retrofits. This is especially important as building owners begin to invest in improvements and comply with the Building Energy Performance Standards.
The application deadline is Sept. 11.For more information and to register, go to emeraldcities-eca.
