INVITATION:
Are you looking to introduce your company to new buyers and decision-makers?
The Virginia Business Opportunity Exchange is a premium, invitation-only business development program designed to connect qualified small businesses with buyers from both the public and private sectors through pre-scheduled one-on-one business meetings.
Many participating buyers have expressed a strong interest in expanding their supplier networks and meeting companies they have not previously done business with. This creates valuable opportunities for qualified suppliers to introduce their capabilities, establish new relationships, and position themselves for future procurement opportunities.
This is not a traditional tradeshow or networking event. Instead of large crowds and general networking, VACC fouses on quality over quantity by carefully screening suppliers and scheduling targeted buyer-supplier meetings based on business needs and procurement interests.
Meet prospective public & private sector buyers 1 on 1. Grow your business with new or existing relationships in an intimate setting by our state VDOT.
