ATLANTA— As Atlanta prepares to host major global events, including the 2026 FIFA World Cup™, the City of Atlanta, in partnership with Showcase Atlanta and key economic development partners, announced a coordinated set of small business resources designed to help Atlanta entrepreneurs prepare, connect and compete, now and for the long term.

The announcement underscores the City’s commitment to ensuring major moments happen with Atlanta, not to Atlanta, by positioning local businesses to participate meaningfully in the opportunities ahead.

“Small businesses are the backbone of our neighborhoods and our economy,” said Mayor Andre Dickens. “As Atlanta steps onto the global stage, we are focused on making sure our entrepreneurs have access to the tools, information, and partnerships they need to succeed, during these major events and well beyond them.”
