The Wellbeing Opportunity

The Wellbeing Opportunity
An official activity of Global Entrepreneurship Week

Are you in the business of wellness?

Advancing opportunities for Charlotte's businesses to deeper corporate engagement and more capital. Wellbeing sits at the center of both. Charlotte’s health systems, banks and employers are investing in healthier people and places, and founders building in health, home and the built environment are ready to meet that demand.

The Wellbeing Opportunity brings these groups into one room for BLUWM’s inaugural Charlotte gathering at Connect Labs by Wexford, in the Charlotte Health Innovation District. It’s an evening of entrepreneurs, investors, corporate leaders and health partners exploring how wellbeing connects business, capital and the places where we live and work, from your home to your business.

What you’ll come away with

• Connections that move business forward: direct introductions to corporate buyers, investors and ecosystem partners focused on health and place.
• A clear view of the wellbeing market: the high-growth trends shaping demand for healthy homes, workplaces and services.
• Practical pathways to scale: how founders get into corporate supply chains, pilots and later-stage capital in Charlotte.
• The standards behind healthy places: how WELL and healthy-building practices, led by IWBI, create value for businesses and real estate.
• A network built to last: peers committed to growing companies, and community, in Charlotte.
