Comcast Business Announces Daily Lineup for the
Third Annual Innovations 4 Entrepreneurs Tech Week
Comcast Business today announced the lineup for its third annual
Innovations 4 Entrepreneurs Tech Week, a series of online programs
and events dedicated to helping entrepreneurs and startups learn
how to use technology to achieve business goals. This year’s events
will be held the week of August 3-7 and will include Twitter chats

across the country, as well as the winners from Comcast’s 2015
Innovations 4 Entrepreneurs (I4E) program. The official hashtag for
the week’s activities is #I4ETechWeek.
The events are part of Comcast Business’ ongoing efforts to
assist entrepreneurs and enable the growth of startup companies and
small businesses. It builds upon the I4E program, a national

mentors and how to find them.

turn an idea for a new business into reality.
- What’s Next Wednesday: Ways to
