The Business Matchmaker is a great opportunity for small businesses to connect one-on-one with government agencies and prime contractors. The 12-minute sessions will allow small businesses to discuss how they can meet the needs of agencies and prime contractors by providing detailed information about their capabilities during this important networking event. As the most comprehensive network across the nation supporting the small business ecosystem—funded in part by the Small Business Administration and the Department of Defense—the SBDC/APEX programs 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.
