Programs and Initiatives

Start Up Move Up Morris is a collaborative program led by the Morris County Economic Development Corporation and Morris County Economic Development Alliance designed to drive the growth of the Morris County Entrepreneurial Ecosystem providing a comprehensive suite of programs and services to help early-stage and emerging market business thrive in Morris County’s vibrant economy.

The MCEDC Advisory Board is comprised of our Sustaining MCEDC Partners (60+ invitees) who gather together once a quarter to receive highlights from the MCEDC team and discover upcoming projects/resources/funding opportunities from organizations across the state.

The MCEDC Steering Committee is  comprised of invitees who participate in the MCEDC at a Sustaining Level. This group meets once a month to strategize the direction of the MCEDC and provide industry and market insight to determine what further steps the MCEDC should take. This committee is held in-person with a virtual option and is followed by open networking and refreshments.

The MCEDC’s Data Consortium is designed to encourage data and information sharing across multiple organizations of different industries. With the amount of information and data available organizations often do not know how to begin to access it or how to receive quality data at that. The Data Consortium is comprised of participating organizations such as the County of Morris, The Morris, Sussex, Warren, Workforce Development Board, CoStar, Lightcast, to put data sources together, compare and collaborate, and share this knowledge with organizations looking to use it to scale their business.
