About
Welcome to eMYRge at the HTC Aspire Hub, located in the heart of Myrtle Beach's Arts & Innovation District. We are here to foster innovation, support scalable businesses, and grow a thriving entrepreneurial ecosystem.
Situated at 509 9th Avenue North, eMYRge offers coworking spaces, meeting rooms, and the resources entrepreneurs need to bring their ideas to life. As the organization behind the HTC Aspire Hub, we are proud to drive economic growth and innovation in our region.
Our Connection to HTC
Powered by Partnership. While the building proudly carries the HTC name, we are not one of their offices. Instead, this space is the result of a generous gift from HTC, Myrtle Beach’s local fiber provider, reflecting their commitment to fostering innovation and community growth in our region.
Operating independently as a nonprofit, this hub serves as a collaborative space for entrepreneurs, startups, and creative professionals to thrive. The name honors HTC’s foundational support and shared vision for building a vibrant future in Myrtle Beach.
Here, ideas flourish, businesses grow, and connections are made—all thanks to the partnership that made this possible.
