Minneapolis is rallying behind its sixth annual Black Business Week, a citywide celebration spotlighting Black entrepreneurs and their vital role in driving local economic growth. Kicking off at the Coliseum Building—a hub for innovation and community—the event offers free workshops, networking, and education to connect business owners with resources and boost support for Black-owned enterprises. With the city investing millions in a Small Business Resiliency Fund and license fee relief, Mayor Jacob Frey declares Black entrepreneurs are not just the future—they’re the present leaders. New initiatives like Square Roots, a restaurant and workforce program offering paid training for young adults, highlight how economic empowerment is being woven into community development. For Black women entrepreneurs, who face disproportionate venture capital gaps despite high startup rates, this week offers critical visibility and connection—fueling not just survival, but thriving.
