Case Study: City of Philadelphia builds a centralized business resource hub with EcoMap Discover

City of Philadelphia builds Philly Biz Hub in 2 years with EcoMap Technologies

The City of Philadelphia faced the challenge of supporting its diverse small business ecosystem across distinct neighborhoods. The city's resources and support programs were fragmented across many organizations and lacked a centralized, accessible platform, making it difficult for entrepreneurs to find the help they needed. To address this, the city partnered with vendor EcoMap Technologies to develop a solution.

EcoMap Technologies worked with the City of Philadelphia and its partners to create the Philadelphia Business Resource Hub (Philly Biz Hub), a dynamic online platform set to launch in Fall 2026. The solution compiled all available resources, events, and opportunities into a single, searchable database. While specific metrics are not provided in the text, the result is a centralized digital tool designed to empower entrepreneurs, streamline access to vital programs, and foster a more connected and collaborative support network across the city.
