A groundbreaking initiative is set to revolutionize the landscape of food sovereignty and entrepreneurship in New Mexico . A state-of-the-art entrepreneur complex, spanning over 7,500 square feet, prepares for its soft opening in early July in Albuquerque.
With a keen focus on supporting agriculture and food-related entrepreneurs, the Indian Pueblo Cultural Center Entrepreneur Complex (IPEC) will boast a large commercial kitchen. It will have dedicated spaces for value-added food production, bakery operations, and educational programming.
“At the core of our mission is to provide a dynamic ecosystem for entrepreneurs in the food industry, empowering them with the resources and support they need to thrive,” says Bill Stimmel, Indian Pueblo Cultural Center Entrepreneurial Director.
“We envision this space as a hub for creativity and innovation, where entrepreneurs can unleash their culinary talents and create high-quality products for local and regional markets,” adds Stimmel.
In addition to the commercial kitchen, the facility is set to feature a demonstration kitchen and classroom to offer a wide range of educational programming. From food safety and diet-based health sovereignty to business development and marketing strategies, IPEC aims to equip entrepreneurs with the skills and knowledge needed to succeed in the competitive food industry.
