a collage from the SBDC small business matchmaker event in October 2023

The Business Matchmaker is a great opportunity for small businesses to connect with government agencies and prime contractors one-on-one. The 15-minute sessions will provide small businesses the chance to discuss how they can meet the needs of agencies and prime contractors by providing detailed information concerning their capabilities during this important networking event!

As the most comprehensive network across the nation in support of the small business ecosystem, funded in part by the Small Business Administration and the Department of Defense, the SBDC/APEXs are focused on serving as the bridge between government agencies, prime contractors, and the small business community; Accordingly, we are continuing our focus on that endeavor with this year’s Matchmaker event.
