The National Institute for Enterprise Development is dedicated to enhancing the capacity of American enterprise by helping technical assistance providers equip small and medium-sized enterprises [SMEs] to complete in the global marketplace.  The Institute works with local chambers of commerce, government agencies, business associations, and other entities to spur economic development in urban centers across the country.  Although we reach out to all SMEs operating throughout these United States, NIED places an emphasis on designing solutions particularly relevant to minority-owned and woman-owned concerns.  Our comprehensive Enterprise Development, Growth & Education programs and services have been designed to help small businesses and working families do what they do best:  Keep America’s economy strong!
