Detroit expo expands supplier outreach

Domestic manufacturing focus and prior results
SBA Administrator Kelly Loeffler says the agency is expanding the program after strong participation in its first matchmaking event, arguing that major companies and small businesses want more opportunities to do business locally. She says large companies depend on U.S. small businesses for needs ranging from component manufacturing to business services.The agency says the initiative supports President Trump's Made in America agenda by encouraging companies to bring supply chains back to the U.S., create local jobs and reinforce domestic industrial capacity. In March, the inaugural expo in Charlotte, North Carolina, connected more than 675 small businesses with 35 large industrial buyers, and SBA says more than 170 small businesses secured matches with larger companies.
