Small Businesses Take Center Stage as Savannah Small Business Week Begins

Staff Report From Georgia CEO

Wednesday, May 6th, 2026

Savannah Small Business Week is officially off and running, with community leaders, business owners, and partner organizations gathering in Johnson Square for a press conference and ribbon cutting to launch a full week of activities.

Members of the business community were on hand to demonstrate the power of partnership and the important role small businesses play in Savannah’s regional economy. As a unified voice, agencies and organizations from across the area reminded attendees that small businesses are among America’s largest employers — and when small businesses are growing, hiring, and thriving, the entire community benefits.

Events will continue throughout the week, offering programs and resources designed to support the interests and needs of area entrepreneurs, business owners, and professionals. From networking opportunities to educational sessions, Savannah Small Business Week is focused on helping local companies connect, learn, and grow.
