| “This is a great opportunity for business owners of all kinds but especially small business owners or those just starting out,” said Congressman Davis. “This is the kind of boost a small business owner could use to seize on this opportunity for funding or procurement of government contracts that are abundantly available but not widely known.” |
The two-day conference will feature speakers from nearly 30 funding agencies and non-profits. Representatives ranging from agencies such as the Appalachian Regional Commission, USDA Rural Development, US Department’s of Homeland Security, Energy, Justice, and NASA to name a few will be talking about business and grant opportunities. There will likewise be presentations from the Foundation Center and Southeast Community Capital focusing on how to write grant proposals and obtain venture capital. The U.S. Chamber of Commerce will also be on hand discussing how to make the chamber work for you.
