Know a business that could improve urban community quality of life?
Innovative and promising businesses are everywhere—and sometimes the people who encounter them are the first to recognize their potential.
Spot a Business! gives you a simple way to tell UEI about a business you think we should know about. It might be a startup, an established company, or anything in between. It can be located anywhere, as long as you see potential for its products, services, or approach to improve urban community quality of life.
Tell us what the business does and why you think it matters. You don’t need to be affiliated with the business, and you don’t need to be a UEI member to participate.
