Center for Economic Growth

The Center for Economic Growth (CEG) is dedicated to driving economic growth in New York’s eight-county, 1.1-million-person Capital Region.

As the nonprofit regional economic development organization, we do this by attracting investment and talent; growing manufacturing and workforce capabilities, leveraging industry clusters, and developing the entrepreneurial ecosystem.

Business Growth Solutions


Our expert team and trusted partners work collaboratively with clients on their top initiatives to increase sales, improve margins, process improvements and drive corporate value.

Students participate in manufacturing bootcamp.

Workforce & Talent

CEG works to develop training and apprenticeship programs that deliver a strong workforce pipeline and advance the careers of incumbent workers. Apprenticeship programs include support for local manufacturers and software firms; our most recent addition was a first-of-its-kind semiconductor manufacturing specific initiative.
