Washington State continues to lead the nation in support of its underserved entrepreneurs. Ensuring these small businesses have contracting opportunities gives the Washington government access to a wider array of business solutions and helps drive innovation. State partnerships with programs such as the Capacity Building Mentorship Program supports these initiatives and strengthens our economy.
