The Museum for Black Innovation and Entrepreneurship is both a showcase of contemporary and historical examples of extraordinary talent and a catalyst for inspiring, educating, and supporting emerging innovation and entrepreneurship, located in the heart of Southeast Washington, DC.

There may be few other stories as unique or compelling as the Black experience in creating social utility during centuries of virtually total disenfranchisement, and emerging from that peculiar experience. The story of this history and experience, which includes both the Black community and the context in which it was and is situated, is the subject to be explored in this web site and in the Museum.

At the same time, this story and the resources available through the Museum are offered to all who may be inspired to create new avenues to promote the general welfare.

We begin by opening a dialogue with the community to elicit ideas for new products, services, and ways to improve the wellbeing of the community. Promising innovations will be referred for intellectual property protection and/or opportunity-based entrepreneurship. The objective is to identify and create asset wealth in the community, and to generate revenues from such assets through entrepreneurship where feasible. The goal is to increase both asset wealth and revenue generation in the community as a means to achieve social mobility.

Please join us in this neighborhood-based initiative for community economic and social development.
