Roxbury innovation center (ric): the roxbury innovation center is a civic innovation center that will support local economic development by encouraging innovation and entrepreneurship focused on the city of boston neighborhoods of roxbury, dorchester and mattapan. These neighbors have a higher unemployment rate and a greater wealth income gap from the rest of the city of boston. Since opening in the fall of 2015, ric has activated programs and events to help adults and youth learn small business/startup and technical skills to make entrepreneurship and innovation viable career options for all. It has always been the mission of the organization that "innovation is for everyone- and through programming at ric, the organization has continued this mission. Ric also provides a place for the local community to gather, obtain advice and connect with other resources from around greater boston and the world through pitch nights and other programming. The organization also produces programming to activate and connect the three physical spaces to the innovation community locally, nationally, and internationally.
Massachusetts programs: innovation studio's pathways to entrepreneurship continuum of small business and startup programs provides an individualized approach to innovation. Through business accelerators, 1-2-1 advising services, and networking opportunities entrepreneurs and business owners gain access to the resources and skills they need to be successful.
