Join us for our 2026 BUSINESS MATCHMAKER on September 3, 2026 

Think Veterans First, The Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) and the Small Business Administration (SBA) are excited to host a Business Matchmaker in support of our veteran owned businesses.  

This is an opportunity for veteran owned MBE, DBE and EDGE certified firms to meet and network with diversity suppliers. As our state prepares for major growth, these suppliers need assistance with the many projects currently taking place in the Columbus area, and all across the state of Ohio.

Opportunities include: Prime and DBE/EDGE Consultants to meet one-on-one regarding how they can work together with Prime and Subprime companies doing business in the State of Ohio on a variety of projects. Speed dating style!

Appointments will last for 10-15 minutes each. Meet with ODOT District staff and other Prime and Diversity supplier representatives as well.
