Harnessing the Power of America's Small, Innovative and Agile Companies: What Small Business Must Know About the Defense Department's New Small Business Strategy

America’s small businesses keep the nation’s military combat ready with critical parts, cutting-edge technology and top-notch services. They account for 43% of all high-tech jobs and generate 16 times more patents than large firms. As such, the Defense Department’s acute focus on supporting this vital segment for strong national and economic security reinforces their commitment to strengthen our domestic supply chains, increase competition, and reduce dependency on single and foreign sources of supply.

Join us for this SIGNAL Media Webinar featuring Farooq Mitha, director of the Department of Defense Office of Small Business Programs, who will detail key takeaways from the department’s recently released Small Business Strategy, designed to promote a strong, dynamic and robust small business industrial base by focusing on reducing barriers to entry, increasing set-aside competitions, and leveraging programs to grow the industrial base.

You’ll come away from the webinar knowing more about the DoD’s efforts to strengthen support of small businesses and stepping up engagement with industry, including providing more tools and resources.
