Next Phase is a program of the Mesa Chamber of Commerce Foundation intended to create, educate, and promote a new generation of retail talent and business owners in Mesa, Arizona.
In partnership with Superstition Springs Center, several educational institutions and the Mesa Chamber of Commerce’s large membership base, the program provides a practical environment for entrepreneurs to formulate their new retail concept. It also provides existing retail business owners a space to strengthen skill sets in areas that they may recognize as opportunities.
Combining three important elements: an actual customer facing storefront, a co-working space located on site and effective training and business training, the program works to empower a new generation of “legacy businesses” for Mesa.
Next Phase is an extension of the BuisnessX program, the MCOC and its Foundation’s initiatives around entrepreneur activities and business growth.
