SELECT GREATER PHILADELPHIA LAUNCHES ENTREPRENEURIAL COMMUNITY CALENDAR ONLINE

SelectGreaterPhiladelphia.com now has a new resource: an online community calendar which provides a comprehensive listing of entrepreneurial events happening within the region. The calendar - made possible through several regional partnerships - aims to increase global interest for start-up companies in the Greater Philadelphia region.

"This tool was implemented to facilitate networking and business opportunities for entrepreneurs looking to build, expand, and market their business in the Greater Philadelphia region," said Tom Morr, President & CEO. "The way we see it, meaningful connections in the region can ultimately help to further enhance business activity here. "We're particularly interested in showcasing the many entrepreneurial opportunities in Greater Philadelphia to those outside of the region," said Morr.

The community calendar was developed and funded through a collaborative effort with the Mid-Atlantic Capital Alliance, the University City Science Center , Ben Franklin Technology Partners of Southeastern Pennsylvania, and Select Greater Philadelphia.

Basecamp Business Inc., based in Burlington County , NJ , provides the technology platform that enables the collection and navigation of these community events. The company was founded in 2007 with the purpose of increasing the likelihood of entrepreneurial success in the region. The tool itself allows users to filter events based on personal search criteria's such as industry, geography and frequency, makes it easy for anyone to get this information quickly.

Greater Philadelphia is a strong option for companies looking to expand or locate along the East Coast. Compared to the major U.S. metropolitan markets, the region offers companies low rents with an average Class A rent of approximately $29/square foot.
