In an economy where small businesses and entrepreneurs serve as the backbone of innovation, resilience, and job creation, the team at the Inland Empire Center for Entrepreneurship (IECE) recognize a powerful opportunity and are excited to announce our most ambitious goal yet: to create $1 billion in economic impact by 2028! We will achieve this impact through powerful and timely business counseling, targeted business training programs, and mentoring that will help small businesses and entrepreneurs in the community start new ventures or grow existing ventures!

This goal is not just a target; it is a shared mission to transform lives. This $1 billion goal is achievable through the power of collaboration. We cannot do it alone. That is why we are inviting local businesses, corporate partners, government, and community leaders to join us. Whether you are a small business owner seeking to start or scale, a corporate partner looking to invest in meaningful local development, or a community leader dedicated to job creation, your participation is the key to our collective success. By uniting around this $1 billion goal, we are shaping a future where small businesses thrive and communities flourish.


This is more than an initiative—it is a movement to transform lives through economic empowerment. Together, we will build a $1 billion future! We look forward to working with you!
