MEMPHIS IS NOW OFFICIALLY “ENTREPRENEURSHIP CITY”

Where grit meets growth, and small ideas turn into big moves.

Mayor Paul Young just announced the launch of “Entrepreneurship City” at the Small Business Loan Expo, alongside EDGE (Economic Development Growth Engine for Memphis & Shelby County).

This new campaign is all about supporting the real ones — the barbers, chefs, stylists, artists, content creators, contractors, and teen entrepreneurs that make Memphis what it is.

Since EDGE launched their Small Business Loan Program:

120+ Memphis businesses funded
$2.7M+ in forgivable loans handed out

Now they taking it a step further:

• Launching youth programs like the Kidpreneur Broadcast Series
• Youth-made products will be gifted to companies relocating to Memphis
• The goal: Build a city that celebrates and invests in local entrepreneurship at every level

“Big things start small — and in Memphis, they SCALE.” — Mayor Paul Young

“This isn’t just a campaign, it’s a movement.” — Dr. Joann Massey, EDGE CEO

You’ll see Entrepreneurship City on billboards, digital ads, and across the city — but more importantly, you’ll see local businesses getting the spotlight they deserve.

Memphis BEEN full of hustlers and visionaries.

Now the city is backing it with funding, structure, and visibility.

This is your sign to bet on yourself.

Memphis = Entrepreneurship City.
