Business Owners!
The Governor’s Office is excited to announce the Portland area Governor’s Marketplace (GMP) October 28th. The goal of the GMP is to support Oregon businesses access to public procurement opportunities, regardless of what stage of business they are in. Our governmental Agencies, Business Resource sessions, and resource booths are designed to provide pathways to success in contracting with the government. The GMP provides inclusive and equitable support to all Oregon small businesses. If you think that your business is too small to contract with government agencies, think again! Public agencies across the state contract for billions of dollars on goods and services providing vital infrastructure and community prosperity, and they need you!
This year’s theme is “Meaningful Engagement”, intentional actions meant to be measurable, accountable, and meaningful.
