Members of our Procurement Department attended the 2025 MWBE Regional Opportunities Expo in Syracuse last week. This event brought together various New York State agencies, authorities, and prime contractors with a significant presence across all regions. The expo aimed to provide MWBE (Minority- and Women-Owned Business Enterprises) firms with valuable information on contracting opportunities.

At the event, MWBEs had the chance to network with state procurement officers and MWBE liaisons, as well as representatives from private companies. Participants were able to attend panels and presentations discussing contracting opportunities and engage in capacity-building workshops. Overall, the event offered numerous opportunities to gain practical insights, learn from success stories, and connect with peers in the industry.
