What is the SBTC?
AEDA’s Small Business Technology Center brings business guidance, learning opportunities, and digital support together. This free support connects entrepreneurs with practical next steps and a community to learn alongside. Our focus is helping you understand your options and take action. We serve all stages of your business: startups and early-stage, existing businesses ready to grow, and entrepreneurs who need help navigating resources.
Ramsey County launched the Re-Imagination Resource Center; a new initiative aimed at strengthening local Business Community Organizations (BCOs) by enhancing their capacity and expanding their services to better support small businesses and entrepreneurs. The Asian Economic Development Center (Aeda) is one of the seven BCOs partnering with Ramsey County to provide business support services to local entrepreneurs.
