Inner City 100
Celebrating and enabling success in our inner cities
For more than 20 years, ICIC has been recognizing and celebrating the fastest-growing businesses located in America’s inner cities. The Inner City 100 list is published annually in FORTUNE and the winners benefit from award press and access to ICIC’s national conference, where they gain management education from leading business school faculty and CEOs and a chance to network with fast-growing urban business leaders from across the country. Winners have reported meeting major investors and partners and winning multi-million dollar contracts as a direct result of appearing on the list. The award winners are chosen based on their growth in revenue over a 5-year period. The average growth rate of the 2017 Inner City 100 companies during the previous five years was 320%.
