Let’s get to work.

Introducing Prosper Omaha 2.0, the Chamber’s next, transformative 5-year economic development campaign. Designed to build on progress and accelerate toward prosperity for all residents, Prosper Omaha 2.0 frames a series of priorities and strategies, key performance indicators, five-year outcomes and macromeasures with a focus on business growth, people and place.

Welcome to a new trajectory of growth based on building the capacity, innovation and competitiveness of our core industries, attracting and building new knowledge-based businesses, and nurturing a dynamic ecosystem of innovation and startups.

Greater Omaha is changing. We are aging and our next-generation is more diverse and more educated. Our talent strategy focuses on embracing our diverse population as a community treasure, showcasing premier inclusive-hiring and promotion practices, and bolstering our efforts to develop, retain and attract the nation’s top talent – ensuring that every resident has the opportunity for prosperity.

Great cities have a vibe that says, “there is something going on here.” That’s why Greater Omaha is fast becoming one of the most inspirational places in the world – a place where your senses (what you see, hear, taste and touch) confirm this region’s high energy, no-holds-barred flavor.

An ambitious and prosperous future is within our reach, but success is going to require “all-in” engagement – everyone doing their part to help achieve our greatest potential as a region.
