Moving East Point Forward

Business & Innovation with Local Roots Moves East Point Forward

Current Initiatives: East Point actively promotes global business and innovation through strategic partnerships with the Atlanta Regional Commission and local chambers of commerce. The city fosters international cultural exchange via collaborations with institutions like the Atlanta International School and regional trade organizations. To support entrepreneurs and small businesses, East Point offers business development workshops and Small Business Support Grants. While the city currently leverages regional tourism efforts rather than a dedicated Visitors Bureau, these collaborations help spotlight East Point’s unique assets and vibrant business environment.

The following focus areas will strengthen East Point’s position as a global business hub by:

  • Collaborating on a dedicated East Point Convention and Visitors Bureau to boost tourism and international marketing.
  • Partnering with consulates, chambers of commerce, and trade groups to attract foreign investment and global talent.
  • Promoting international small businesses through city-supported programs and resources.
  • Developing international student exchange and cultural programs to build global connections and local opportunity.
  • Supporting digital nomads and remote workers by enhancing infrastructure and welcoming diverse talent to the city.
