State


New York hosting 2017 Regional MWBE Opportunities Expo Series
Published on 02/27/2017

New York's minority- and women-owned businesses (MWBEs) will have an opportunity to network and learn more about working with the state at one of the upcoming regional 2017 MWBE Opportunities Expos.

The events - the first of which is scheduled for March 16th - will be held in the Mid-Hudson, New York City, Finger Lakes, North Country, Southern Tier and Central New York regions.

"We know New York's economy is strongest when we empower everyone to participate, and we are leading the nation in creating opportunities for Minority- and Women-Owned Business Enterprises in every corner of the state," said Governor Andrew Cuomo. "This Expo series will build on our momentum and connect talented businesses with the tools, resources and support they need to grow and succeed. I encourage all qualified entrepreneurs to visit these forums and see what opportunities are available."

At the 2017 Regional MWBE Opportunities Expo Series, attendees will be able to attend an MWBE Boot Camp, which connects them with business development resources and technical assistance in their area, and learn about financial assistance programs like the New York State Surety Bond Assistance Program and the "Bridge to Success" Loan Program.
