Thanks for stopping here to learn more about what we do. Simply put, we are a non-profit that works on behalf of the Spokane community to build our economy so your business can thrive. As a business development organization, we assist businesses across the Inland Northwest from startup to the growth and expansion phase by providing a host of resources to support your business (greater growth). It means were working at the local, state, and federal levels to advocate for projects that enhance our region and on regulatory issues that are favorable for your business (greater voice). We also bridge the gap between education and our business community to ensure we have the skilled workforce businesses need to thrive (greater talent).

In short, GSI creates a place where organizations come together to advocate for the region, drive strategic economic growth, and champion a talented workforce.

This work requires collaboration with numerous partners. We work with community leaders, businesses, the education community, legislators and elected officials, economic development organizations, non-profits, and others to implement economic development strategies and move forward with initiatives that transform our economy.

We have a talented team of staff, a Board of Trustees, and more than 800 member partners and committees that come together to work on projects and initiatives.
