We're here to make Queens thrive. Founded in 1977.

Our mission is to help entrepreneurs start and maintain successful small businesses by partnering with local organizations to develop commercial districts and promote Queens as a destination for residential, business, and visitor growth. During the COVID pandemic, QEDC will provide a wide array of resources, promote small businesses, help food makers in the Entrepreneur Space prepare meals for Front Line caregivers, and offer virtual counseling and webinars to guide business owners as they reopen.

On September 23, QEDC hosted the Entrepreneur Space 16th Anniversary Open House, bringing together local makers, food entrepreneurs, and community partners to celebrate over a decade of economic development and small business growth in Long Island City.

The event featured a showcase of diverse kitchen clients offering tastings of their products, highlighting the incubator’s milestone of supporting over 850 food businesses since opening in 2010.

A huge thank you to everyone who came out to support our local culinary community, and a special shoutout to OceanFirst Bank for sponsoring this milestone celebration. Swipe through to see highlights from an incredible evening! 📸✨

What would $1,000 solve for your Queens small business?

Sometimes you just need a little bit of extra cash. Your AC went bust in the middle of summer. Your menus haven't been updated in a decade. Your awning has become the home to the local pigeon population. But margins are tight, who has the extra money lying around to fix these things?

That's where our new Flash Grants program comes in. Thanks to our friends at Maspeth Federal Savings, we're giving out $1,000 to 5 Queens small businesses to help solve these nagging little problems.

This program is remarkably easy – by September 15, just tell us by in a single paragraph how you'd use the money. Then, a couple of weeks later, we'll pick five winners and send them a check. That's it.
