Nashville has spent decades building one of the deepest concentrations of healthcare expertise in the country.

Now, we’re putting that expertise to work in a new way.

Around the world, innovative healthcare companies are looking to enter the U.S. market. Many have raised capital, have customers and proven technologies. What they need is a place to start — and access to people who understand how to navigate the complexity of U.S. healthcare.

That’s the opportunity behind LIGHT — the Lab for Innovation in Global Health Technology.

LIGHT is a new soft-landing platform designed to help international healthcare companies enter the U.S. market through Nashville — connecting them to the healthcare expertise, relationships and resources that make this region unique.

The Nashville Area Chamber of Commerce and Nashville Entrepreneur Center are LIGHT’s Founding Partners, with Global Health Connector serving as an Anchor Partner and Vanderbilt Health Affiliated Network, Meharry Medical College and Belmont University’s Thomas F. Frist, Jr. College of Medicine as academic health partners.

LIGHT represents a broader economic development strategy: taking the assets Nashville already has, connecting them in new ways and using them to attract the next generation of healthcare companies, investment and talent.

The goal is simple: when an innovative healthcare company somewhere in the world is ready to enter the United States, we want Nashville to be one of the easiest places for them to start.

We’re just getting started.

Applications are now open. Learn more about LIGHT and apply at lightnashville.org

Nashville is where healthcare expertise, innovation, and big ideas come together.

The third annual Global Health Innovators Summit brought healthcare leaders, entrepreneurs, investors, clinicians, and policymakers together in Nashville to explore Where Health Lives and the people, ideas, and unexpected connections shaping the future of health.

A huge thank you to our speakers for sharing their expertise and challenging us to think differently, and to the sponsors and community partners whose support made the Summit possible. We’re especially grateful to Global Health Connector, our Sustaining Partner alongside the Nashville Area Chamber, for its continued partnership in connecting Nashville’s healthcare ecosystem to innovators and opportunities around the world.

Thank you as well to TX Pulse, Nashville Innovation Alliance, Womble Bond Dickinson (US) LLP,Pinnacle Financial Partners, SEI Nashville, LBMC W Squared, and Neoverse Nexus LLC for investing in the Summit and in this growing community.

And most of all, thank you to everyone who showed up ready to connect, share ideas, and help build what comes next.

This is where health lives, and this is where innovation happens.

After 5 years of serving Middle Tennessee from coffee carts, Asulon Collective now has another place to call home! ☕️✂️

Last Friday, we celebrated the opening of Asulon Collective’s new Nashville location with a ribbon cutting! Founded in 2021, Asulon has grown from a coffee cart into a coffee catering business, a flagship location in Clarksville, and now a second location right next to GEODIS Park in Wedgewood-Houston.

Congratulations to the Asulon Collective team on their new Nashville home! 🎉

We said Next Starts Now, and we meant it. 👀

It’s been more than a week since 800+ leaders came together on the field at Nissan Stadium for Annual Celebration, but the energy from that night isn’t slowing down.

We celebrated the leaders who helped get our region here. Now, we’re turning our attention to the leaders shaping what comes next.

Next up: YP Nashville Summit 2026 on October 13. Grab your tickets now!⚡

A few weeks ago, we had the chance to celebrate the people at the heart of the Chamber: our members.

Our Member Appreciation Reception Nashville Yards was simply about saying thank you. Members joined us for an evening of bowling, darts, food, drinks, a few candid interviews, and time together outside of the usual workday.

And coming off an incredible Annual Celebration on Friday, that gratitude feels especially timely. Our members and community partners make so much of what we do possible through their involvement, investment and continued support. We’re grateful you choose to be part of the Chamber community.

Special thanks to our Member Relations Committee for planning the reception and to Hooky for hosting us!
