The Center on Rural Innovation (CORI) is an action tank dedicated to addressing the challenges of rural American economies. Our work centers around three activities: building models for economic development that make sense for the 21st century, creating data and mapping tools so that rural stakeholders can do more impactful work, and directly investing in rural startups to empower communities to build wealth and jobs.
