Elevate Hennepin 2026 Thriving Thursday in Hopkins

We’re eager to announce the Thriving Thursdays series where business owners and entrepreneurs can drop in for in-person, office-hours style consulting. Connect face-to-face with Elevate Hennepin consultants, Business Navigators, and city economic development staff for guidance on the next right step for your business.

What to expect

During each Thriving Thursdays pop-up, you can:

• Connect with professional Elevate Hennepin consultants for marketing guidance, business strategy, and more
• Identify city, county, state, and federal resources to support your business or idea
• Build your network with local business leaders and city staff

This event offers an accessible opportunity to explore free resources, ask questions, and gain confidence in your business journey.

Why attend Thriving Thursdays?

Elevate Hennepin’s Thriving Thursdays pop-ups are more than drop-in hours. They’re a collaboration between city partners and Hennepin County designed to bring professional advisors directly into communities across the county. Whether you’re launching a new venture or scaling up, these sessions offer tailored support without the pressure of formal appointments.

Registration is not required - drop ins are welcome!
