Chicago Anchors for a Strong Economy (CASE)

Chicago Anchors for a Strong Economy (CASE), an initiative of World Business Chicago, acts as a catalyst to create inclusive economic growth by leveraging the buying power of anchor institutions, such as hospitals and universities, to collectively impact Chicagoland neighborhoods. CASE enables anchors to individually and collectively support the vitality of their neighborhoods and promote sustainable inclusive economic growth, by sourcing and qualifying local, small to medium-sized businesses, with a focus on neighborhood and MBE/WBEs, to supply the products and services anchors need.
