The Solano Center for Business Innovation (SCBI) is a non-profit organization dedicated to assisting small business owners in Solano County develop smarter, more sustainable businesses.  SCBI focuses on providing advanced learning opportunities, in large and small group settings,   for existing or start-up business owners.  Helping businesses develop more sustainable business approaches benefits the entire community by aiding small businesses to grow.

SCBI was born out of the recognition that Solano County’s economic vitality requires a variety of approaches: including all local businesses, and all business types.The community depends upon a viable small business environment that is able to sustain itself, and grow, over time.  This requires that small business owners have the opportunity to learn new and advanced strategy, management and operational approaches.  As a public-benefit corporation, we help existing small businesses to learn how to become more sustainable over time, and assist new businesses in learning how to get off to a faster start.

SCBI works with micro-enterprises, small businesses and start-ups to learn about the “4C’s of innovation”: content, connections, context and community.  We provide this through:

• Business Development, Entrepreneurship and Technology educational sessions
• Opportunities to learn from others through workshops, round-tables or conferences
• Specialized learning occasions for business owners with common needs

Our programs are open to all small business owners in Solano County.  Some programs are free, others have a fee structure.  Participants are owners who are willing to work on their business, not simply in their business!

• What do you want your business to be?
• What are you hoping to accomplish with your business?
• Where will your business be 12-18 months from now?
• How are you going to get there?

Are you in charge of your business, or is your business in charge of you?
