Welcome, Center for Business Growth & Innovation!

The Center for Business Growth & Innovation provides specialized business assistance to entrepreneurs and small businesses across Louisiana in key areas that are becoming increasingly important to long-term growth and competitiveness.

While LSBDC centers provide comprehensive support within their regions, the Center for Business Growth & Innovation operates statewide, offering focused expertise in international business, artificial intelligence (AI), cybersecurity, capital readiness, and technology and innovation.

Whether a business is preparing to enter new markets, strengthen operations through technology, mitigate cyber risks, or improve its readiness to secure funding, the Center delivers targeted guidance, training, and resources tailored to growth-oriented businesses.

The Center works alongside the LSBDC network to provide support in complex and emerging business areas that require advanced technical knowledge and strategic planning.
