Case Study: Business Oregon improves access to statewide entrepreneurial resources with EcoMap Discover

Business Oregon maps resources across 36 counties with EcoMap Discover in 6 months

Business Oregon, the state's economic development agency, faced the challenge of maintaining an accurate and up-to-date directory of its more than 80 grants, loans, and programs. Their outdated resource list was overwhelming to manage with limited staff capacity, and critical information for entrepreneurs was often falling through the cracks. They partnered with EcoMap Technologies to implement the EcoMap platform to solve this need.

EcoMap provided a centralized and easily maintained platform that curates and displays resources across all 36 counties. The solution has increased awareness of support organizations, especially in underserved regions, and provides a valuable 10,000-foot perspective of the entire state's ecosystem. Business Oregon reports that the platform is helping to address regional disparities and increase access to resources, with staff and partners excited about its potential. The team at EcoMap Technologies was also praised for its collaborative and curious approach to the partnership.
