Sync Space Entrepreneur Center Launches Navigate NETN: The Resource Roadmap

 January 8, 2026, is the launch date for Navigate NETN: The Resource Roadmap, an 8-session panel and networking series hosted by Sync Space Entrepreneur Center. The series is designed to help founders understand where to start, who to talk to, and how to access the right resources at the right time.

Too often, entrepreneurs don’t fail because of lack of effort, they struggle because the ecosystem is difficult to navigate. Navigate NETN was created to bring clarity, connection, and practical next steps into one room.

Each session includes:

• A 45-minute moderated panel with regional experts

• 15 minutes of live audience Q&A

• 30 minutes of open networking

The sessions are intentionally small to encourage meaningful conversation and real connection.

Session 1: The Local Entrepreneur Ecosystem

Date: January 8, 2026Cost: Free (registration required)

The kickoff session focuses on helping entrepreneurs understand the Northeast Tennessee entrepreneurial ecosystem.

Attendees will learn:

• Which organizations support entrepreneurs in our region

• What resources are free or low-cost

• Where to start based on their stage of business

• How to take clear next steps without guesswork

Session 1 features regional ecosystem leaders, including representatives from the Kingsport Chamber of Commerce, FoundersForge, and Sync Space, who work directly with founders every day.

This is a no-wrong-door environment. Whether someone is shaping an idea, stabilizing a business, or preparing to grow, this session meets them where they are.

We would greatly appreciate your help sharing this opportunity with your network, members, clients, or partners who support or are building businesses in Northeast Tennessee.
