President Clinton, building on his long-term commitment to economic advancement, established the Clinton Economic Opportunity Initiative (CEO) in 2002 to accelerate economic progress in underserved communities in the United States by promoting entrepreneurship and advancing business-to-business public service. Through programs that provide entrepreneurs with support, ideas, and tools that can help them succeed in the marketplace, CEO aims to empower growing businesses, create jobs, generate wealth, and promote lasting economic development.

Promoting Entrepreneurship

CEO believes that promoting entrepreneurship is one of the strongest ways to create lasting economic development in underserved communities, and we strive to be a leader in domestic economic development by creating, implementing, and scaling sustainable and impactful models to support entrepreneurs. Our entrepreneurship programs promote economic growth by enlisting Americans with business expertise to help local entrepreneurs compete and succeed.
