Applications open for E3

The Equitable Entrepreneurial Ecosystem for Business Growth, commonly known as E3, opened its applications for the 2024 cycle yesterday. There’s a two-week window to apply for the program aimed at expanding operations and increasing revenue for Delaware businesses of all kinds.
