The Business Development Matchmaker is hosted by the Office for Business & Community Economic Development. This is a matchmaker event designed to give women, minority, disabled, and small business owners from Minnesota an opportunity to develop a business relationship with the University of Minnesota. The event provides excellent networking opportunity with University Buyers, Category Managers, Construction Managers, Facilities Management Managers, and key decision makers at the University of Minnesota. This is also an opportunity for local corporations to also network with women, minorities, and persons with disabilities (WMDBEs), prime contractors and key government purchasing decision makers.
