At the Sumter Black Chamber of Commerce, in a historic industrial setting, we have been working to create a Tech Hub Downtown Main St Sumter SC in the Opportunity Zone.
The Sumter Black Chamber of Commerce will offer the businesses a core resource team vs a team dedicated to a sole business. The Tech Hub is an overall business resource facilitator that will exist to boost a business's ability to manufacture, commercialize, and deploy critical technologies.
Our goal is to offer a physical hub for technology driven companies to offer them co-shared working spaces for up to 12 small businesses or startups, community programs, social events, networking events, workshops, training, and more.
Welcome! When we develop programs, search for partners, and advocate for you, we use real data. We need to stay in constant communication with you so that we best represent your business's needs for growth and development.
