The Edney Innovation Center is the front door to Chattanooga's Innovation District. It's a connection point, support base, and catalyst for the local entrepreneurial ecosystem. The Edney is where startups come to accelerate, grow and thrive. Ideas are born here everyday at community events and workshops hosted on the Fifth Floor.

The Edney has three anchor tenants: CO.LAB, The Enterprise Center, and Society of Work. Throughout the 10-story space you'll also find startups in innovative office spaces, community events, shared accelerator spaces, and rooftop access with amazing views of the scenic city. http://theedney.com/
