CEDC is excited to host Coffee with APEX Accelerator, an opportunity for regional manufacturers to connect with experts who can help businesses navigate government contracting and explore opportunities within the Department of Defense supply chain.

This  event will bring together economic development stakeholders, regional manufacturers, the Wisconsin APEX Accelerator, the Wisconsin Procurement Institute (WPI), and representatives from the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Land and Maritime for meaningful conversations surrounding supplier readiness, procurement requirements, and resources available to help businesses compete in the federal marketplace.

Attendees will gain valuable insight into the process of becoming a government supplier, including understanding contracting requirements, compliance expectations, procurement systems, and strategies for identifying new opportunities.

Through partnerships with the Wisconsin APEX Accelerator and WPI, CEDC helps connect manufacturers with the expertise and resources needed to strengthen their capabilities, expand into new markets, and contribute to a stronger Wisconsin manufacturing and defense supply chain.

Coffee with APEX Accelerators is part of CEDC’s ongoing commitment to supporting business growth by providing connections, resources, and opportunities that help local manufacturers succeed.
