Organizations
The support organizations, agencies, and partners powering Alaska's entrepreneurial ecosystem.
Alaska has dozens of organizations that support entrepreneurs: lenders, advisors, accelerators, nonprofits, government agencies, and chambers of commerce. Most operate independently, and many are invisible to the entrepreneurs who need them. AKEW’s first job is to make this ecosystem visible. Below is the directory of every organization participating in Alaska Entrepreneurship Week 2026. Filter by region, type, or service to find the support that matches specific needs.
Strategic Partners
Organizations contributing shared resources, programming, and institutional alignment with AKEW's mission. Designated annually by the Statewide Co-Chairs. Learn more
