About:

The Russell Innovation Center for Entrepreneurs (RICE) is an economic mobility engine for the community; inspiring and driving underrepresented entrepreneurs and small business owners to innovate, grow, create jobs and build wealth. RICE houses over 50,000 square feet of convening, meeting, and innovation space in a LEED Silver Certified building, brought to life by a robust offering of educational, networking, mentoring, and capital resources.

RICE was created to honor the amazing entrepreneurial journey of Herman J. Russell, who launched his entrepreneurial journey at the age of 12. Mr. Russell later founded H.J. Russell & Company in 1952, which grew to become one of the largest Minority Business Enterprises in America. From real estate development, to construction and project management, airport concessions and philanthropy, the Russell family has been and continues to be, a dynamic force for entrepreneurial development and a key to Atlanta’s remarkable growth. RICE’s goal is to honor and embody H.J. Russell’s legacy of success rooted in service.
