Henrico, VA
Henrico Economic Development Authority (Henrico EDA), in partnership with co-working solutions provider, Gather, proudly hosted a joint Grand Opening Ceremony today to celebrate the official launch of the Henrico Global Business Gateway (GBG) program and new Gather West End location.
The event brought together government officials, business leaders, and community partners for remarks, a ribbon cutting, and a warm welcome to the GBG’s inaugural cohort of companies:
- Rego, Incorporated, a digital ID and verification services provider from the Democratic Republic of the Congo
- Saarathi Engtech, a manufacturer of aircraft hangar doors, gearboxes and screw jacks from Mumbai, India
- Inpronic USA, a custom control panel device manufacturer from Latacunga, Ecuador
The Global Business Gateway is a unique initiative designed to support established international businesses as they expand into the U.S. market. Headquartered within the new Gather West End location—a property at 4101 Cox Road owned by Henrico EDA partner Highwoods Properties—the GBG offers members a comprehensive suite of resources including dedicated office space, business consulting, professional services, and relocation support.
GBG members also gain exclusive access to Henrico EDA’s RAMP (Research to Accelerate Market Potential) program, which delivers custom market intelligence to help companies navigate U.S. business practices, accelerate market share, and grow domestic sales. This extensive and customized benefits package empowers GBG members to contribute their innovation, global expertise, and investment to Henrico’s growing international business ecosystem.
The GBG program currently serves three international companies but can support up to nine with services tailored to each company’s market entry needs.
“This is more than just a ribbon cutting—it’s the beginning of a new era for international business in Henrico,” said Brookland Magisterial District Supervisor Daniel J. Schmitt. “With a welcoming community, a robust support network, and Gather’s premium workspaces, Henrico’s Global Business Gateway is designed to help these companies—and our community—thrive.”
“We’re excited to welcome these visionary companies to Henrico’s Global Business Gateway,” said Three Chopt Magisterial District Supervisor Misty D. Roundtree. “Today’s celebration is a testament to what’s possible when public and private sectors come together to support growth and opportunity.”
“We are thrilled about the grand opening of the Henrico Global Business Gateway (GBG) and Gather West End,” said GBG member Yogo Dubois, founder and CEO of Rego, Incorporated. “Having dedicated office space within Gather’s vibrant co-working community and access to the GBG’s comprehensive business support services – particularly the RAMP program – are critical to the success of our company’s launch in the U.S. The Rego team looks forward to growing and contributing to Henrico’s economy and beyond.”
The GBG is one of several strategic initiatives launched under the Henrico Tomorrow campaign—an effort to reimagine underused commercial spaces and drive innovation through inclusive, forward-thinking economic development. By attracting dynamic companies from around the world, it further strengthens Henrico’s position as a global business hub, building on a solid foundation of more than 70 international companies.
