Two-month 2022 Business Accelerator focuses on collateral development

The Northwest Mountain Minority Supplier Development Council (Northwest Mountain MSDC) recently partnered in developing and launching the Port of Seattle, Business Accelerator Program. The Northwest Mountain MSDC and the Port of Seattle officially kicked-off the two-month Business Accelerator Program for minority and women owned small businesses on Wednesday, September 7, 2022. The select 13 cohort associates met, introduced their businesses, networked, and began relationship building with Port of Seattle Executives and some of the selected mentors. 

The selection committee narrowed down the businesses they believed to have the strongest applications that closely aligned with the Port of Seattle's goals, objectives, and future state for this year’s cohort.
