Social Impact at CIC Philadelphia
CIC Philadelphia strives to provide a positive, collaborative, and business-enhancing workspace for all entrepreneurs.
Social impact touches all areas of our community and economy. To us, having a positive impact means leveraging your perspective to think globally and act locally. CIC is both a global network of thousands of entrepreneurs as well as a local Philadelphia community, both of which you have access to.
Our Social Impact Cohort
The companies in our Social Impact Cohort will work in an environment that encourages collaboration, learning opportunities, and interaction. Access to weekly programming through CIC and local partners will provide cohort members educational and networking opportunities.
