Fayetteville-Cumberland Regional Entrepreneur and Business HUB and NC Growth are partnering with nine regional agencies to host the three-day Central Carolina Procurement Summit in Sanford, North Carolina, April 29 through May 1.
The procurement summit will be at the Dennis Wicker Civic Center, 1801 Nash St., from 5:30 to 8 p.m. each day, and supported by:
The summit aims to help local, minority, women-owned, and veteran-owned small businesses build the capacity to apply for and win contracts. With Harnett County included in the HUB’s 10-county outreach area, this is an opportunity to bring together local small businesses with large government agencies to learn about upcoming procurement opportunities within the Central Carolina region and engage directly with procurement managers. Empowering local businesses to access government contracts fuels economic growth and community sustainability. By spending these dollars in the local community, the dollars circulate from one local business to another, creating greater economic impact, and ultimately improving the local tax base, which results in greater services and infrastructure, and ultimately prosperity for all.
