Gateway Institute for Research and Development

Gateway Institute for Research and Development was established in 2008 in response to the growing needs of minority communities in Minnesota State of the U.S.

particularly in the areas of entrepreneurship development and consulting minority-owned businesses. With these needs in view, our organization had chosen to adopt a culturally appropriate approach to engage these communities in order to provide targeted services that will have the maximum impact. In the area of Entrepreneurship, we developed specific training that will generate interest in entrepreneurship, help in credit building, create business plans, and secure funding.

As for existing minority-owned business entities, Gateway Institute successfully created programs that provided strong support through training in risk assessments, marketing techniques, bookkeeping, project management, business cycle analysis, and business plan development for expansion possibilities. Our goal here is to increase the number of individuals going into business among minority communities and reduce business failures that happen due to lack of resources and support.
