About this Event

Selling to the Government, Anchor Institutions, and Global Markets


Looking to grow your business beyond your current customer base? This in-person panel discussion will introduce you to major revenue opportunities through government contracting, large institutional buyers, and international markets.


Join panelists from SBA, Maine MEP, Maine APEX Accelerator, and the University of Maine as they break down how small businesses can access and succeed in these often-overlooked markets.


In this 1.5-hour session, you will learn:

  • How to get started with government contracting
  • Opportunities to sell to anchor institutions like universities and large organizations
  • The basics of entering and expanding into global markets
  • What support and resources are available to help you navigate these channels
  • Common barriers—and how to overcome them



You’ll also have the opportunity to ask questions and connect with experts who help businesses expand into these revenue streams every day.


Location: Custom House, 312 Fore St., Portland, ME 04084

Format: In-person panel discussion

Duration: 1.5 hours

Panelists: Representatives from SBA, Maine MEP, Maine APEX Accelerator, and the University of Maine


If you’re ready to stop relying on a single revenue stream, this session will show you where—and how—to find new ones.
