Who we are and what we do.

Iowa Western Community College’s Entrepreneurial Center, in partnership with the Iowa Western Small Business Development Center, actively promotes entrepreneurial development throughout southwest Iowa. The E-Center supports area entrepreneurs and student business ventures, raises public awareness about the vital role entrepreneurs play in economic development and stability, and creates an educational environment that encourages entrepreneurial thinking at all levels. Our specific objectives center on three areas: community empowerment, entrepreneurial coaching and entrepreneurial education.

Located adjacent to the Council Bluffs Airport, the IWCC E-Center offers a resource library, conference room, meeting space and a staff ready to assist entrepreneurs and small business owners in opening or operating businesses in southwest Iowa.
