World Business Chicago

About

World Business Chicago is an organization operating out of Chicago that focuses on regional economic growth across key innovation sectors. Their programming targets healthtech as well as agtech and food industries, with active event organizing starting in 2024. They serve as a convenor for industry stakeholders looking to build connections across these specialized regional ecosystems.

What they run

Their portfolio includes six past gatherings, with three held directly in Chicago and no upcoming dates scheduled. Programming leans heavily toward major summits, which account for four of their sessions alongside two other events. A central recurring series is the Chicago Venture Summit, which has run for two editions, providing concentrated sector gatherings rather than small regular meetups.

Who attends

The audience primarily comprises founders, investors, and ecosystem leaders active in healthtech and food-related agtech. Given the focus on large-scale summit formats and venture programming, attendees typically include entrepreneurs seeking capital, strategic corporate partners, and venture professionals interested in Midwest investment opportunities. Participation centers on regional stakeholders building businesses within these specific technical domains.
