Triangle Small Business Week 2026 5/3/2026 7:00 AM - 5/9/2026 5:00 PM

Small businesses are at the core of what makes the Triangle thrive. In fact, nearly 80,000 people in our region are employed by small businesses, fueling our economy and strengthening our community every day.

Join us for a weeklong celebration recognizing the impact, resilience, and creativity of our local entrepreneurs. Throughout the week, a variety of events hosted by the Greater Raleigh Chamber and partner organizations will spotlight the people and ideas shaping our region.

Visit trianglesmallbusinessweek.com to explore the full schedule, access helpful resources for business owners and entrepreneurs, and learn more about the vital role small businesses play in our economy. You will also see updates shared by participating nonprofits across social media platforms including X, Instagram, Facebook, and LinkedIn, through email campaigns, on the Chamber website, and in local media.

Triangle Small Business Week coincides with National Small Business Week, an initiative led by the U.S. Small Business Administration, which has honored the achievements of entrepreneurs nationwide since 1963. As part of this longstanding tradition, our regional celebration shines a light on the innovators and risk-takers who turn big ideas into lasting impact.

From historic downtown storefronts to the cutting-edge companies of Research Triangle Park, small businesses continue to shape a new era of growth and opportunity. We’re committed to supporting that momentum by connecting founders with the tools they need to grow and ensuring every local business has the opportunity to succeed.

Be sure to check out our Chamber events during this week - Networking 101 on May 5 and Coffee With Leaders on May 7 - open to all!

Record and submit a short video by May 1 through our VideoAsk form below with one tip for fellow small business owners. Selected videos may be featured on the website and the Chamber’s Instagram, creating a valuable resource for the entire business community.
