LaunchPad is Helping Small Businesses Set Up Shop in Airports

— May 8, 2018 — World
Airport retail lacks diversity and a new LaunchPad program believes that small businesses can add a little more excitement to the typically mundane experience most travelers go through.

LaunchPad helps small businesses get off the ground and this new initiative will help these start-ups and independent companies get the recognition they deserve at some of the heaviest trafficked airport locations. The program will enable a new and diverse group of businesses to set up shop for up to a year, expanding their client base while offering travelers a more diversified retail experience.

The new program has just commenced a successful trial period at Baltimore's BWI Airport and is set to expand to other cities in the near future.
