West Philadelphia Corridor Collaborative

The West Philadelphia Corridor Collaborative (or simply "The Collaborative") is more than just a business association.  We are the entrepreneurship ecosystem of West Philadelphia.  Starting in 2015 as a fiscally sponsored project of the Lancaster Avenue 21st Century Business Association, the Collaborative is now an independent partnership representing businesses along twelve commercial corridors with fourteen participating membership organizations.

We work to create, connect and advocate for resources to help residents start new businesses and provide our existing companies with the right representation, connections to opportunities, and competitive advantage that they need to grow, thrive, and hire.

Different from other Philadelphia Chambers of Commerce, the Collaborative has a specific hyperlocal focus on West Philadelphia, an unapologetic approach to advocacy for our constituents, and a direct initative to organize businesses around community challenges.
