Business Bridge
Background
The Itasca Job Growth Task Force initiated the “Business Bridge” with a coalition of corporate procurement executives to more effectively facilitate purchasing connections between the region’s small and growing companies to larger, more established organizations. In 2022, the GREATER MSP Partnership adopted Business Bridge to scale the initiative, including adding a focus on increasing corporate contracts with local BIPOC-owned small and mid-sized firms. Please see the GREATER MSP Partnership Business Bridge page for more information.
