The Mid-Columbia Innovation Hub Hub was founded to connect innovators, business owners, and entrepreneurs in Hood River, Wasco, and Sherman counties with essential local and statewide resources for business development — including networking, funding, mentorship, and training —fostering innovation and expanding the traded sector to drive sustainable economic growth and resilience in the region.

The Hub operates as an extension of Mid-Columbia Economic Development Department (MCEDD) and is funded by Business Oregon and the Oregon Innovation Council. The Hub is a conduit, connecting business owners to service providers at no cost.
