Maryam Brown and Daymond John from Shark Tank ABC discussed a key theme of the #MBEConnectSummit: collaboration. The summit provided a space for government officials, private enterprises, and entrepreneurs to foster connections and work toward a #CleanEnergy future together.
Inspiration coupled with action is how we drive real change in our business and our lives. We had the honor of hosting the 2024 #MBEConnectSummit alongside the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), where our collaboration facilitated over 1,900 matchmaking sessions with prime vendors and MBEs for +$400 billion in contracts for the #CleanEnergy transition. A major highlight was having a fireside chat with acclaimed entrepreneur Daymond John from Shark Tank ABC, aimed at inspiring entrepreneurs as they entered two days of matchmaking. Thank you, Daymond John, DOE Office of Energy Justice and Equity, Minority Business Development Agency - U.S. Department of Commerce, and all our partners who made this a groundbreaking event.
