The Brownsville Community Improvement Corporation announced the launch of eBridge Business Academy, a rebrand of its Blueprint Business Program for entrepreneurs and early-stage small business owners, facilitated by the UTRGV Entrepreneurship & Commercialization Center. The program, which has more than 350 graduates, focuses on core business fundamentals such as planning, marketing, sales and financial management using the Kauffman FastTrac curriculum. The academy aligns more closely with BCIC’s broader eBridge entrepreneurship initiatives. The next cohort will run from Jan. 13 to Feb. 24, 2026, with instruction offered in Spanish at the eBridge Center for Business and Commercialization in Brownsville.
