WELCOME TO
THE GREEN BOOK

“What has always set DC apart is our resilience and our culture. We are a city that shows up for each other. A city that believes in local talent.

A city where entrepreneurs— from solo founders to growing companies—play a vital role in shaping our future. That is the Real DC. And the FY26 Green Book is one of the tools that helps ensure these opportunities reach every corner of our city.”
