Learn to Work with Government & Big Business

The Contracting Fundamentals Series

APEX Accelerator, the SBDC, and NYSTEC teamed up to produce a series  provide attendees a sound fundamental understanding about the process of doing business with government entities, including federal, state and local governments. Most large companies, particularly those who have state or federal incentives for expansion or relocation, also follow similar standards.
