Center on Rural Innovation

The Center on Rural Innovation (CORI) is a national nonprofit partnering with rural community leaders across the country to develop and execute digital economy strategies that support scalable entrepreneurship and local tech job creation. Through a comprehensive approach to digital economic development, we help these leaders prove what's possible in rural America. This involves building a nationwide network of local economic change agents; using mapping and data to highlight rural opportunities; making direct investments in underserved rural entrepreneurs; and closing the digital divide so all Americans can participate in the 21st-century digital economy.
