Small businesses in Ohio will have the opportunity to meet with government agencies and prime contractors that award billions of dollars in contracts at the 2023 Ohio Business Matchmaker, the largest small business-to-government contracting event in the state.

Registration is now open for this year’s Matchmaker, which will bring small businesses together with buyers from local, state, and federal agencies and large prime contractors.

Government buyers and prime contractors can register for free. It is an opportunity for buyers to meet with small, MBE/EDGE, minority-owned, women-owned, veteran-owned, 8(a) and HUBZone certified businesses.

Exhibitor and sponsor packages are also available. For more information on those opportunities, go to the website at OhioBusinessMatchmaker.com.

Since 2006, the U.S. Small Business Administration and the Ohio Department of Development have partnered on the Business Matchmaker event. This year’s Matchmaker will include training opportunities for small businesses on the afternoon of Wednesday, May 3. The matchmaking event will be Thursday, May 4, with opportunities for one-on-one scheduled and unscheduled meetings between small businesses and government buyers.

In addition, a series of webinars are scheduled so that participants can get the most out of the matchmaker. The webinars began Wednesday, March 22, and businesses can register for the training sessions at OhioBusinessMatchmaker.com/ohiomatchwebinars.
