Calling all supporters of local business and entrepreneurship: Miami-Dade County is rolling out the red carpet for its very own Makers Marketplace later this month. As part of the National Small Business Month festivities, County Mayor Daniella Levine Cava and the Office of Innovation and Economic Development are rallying behind the initiative with an event designed to prop up local entrepreneurs.
The Makers Marketplace will be the stomping ground for small businesses within the Miami-Dade community, serving up an opportunity to put their products and services in the spotlight. Scheduled for May 21 from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., the event aims to bridge the gap between local vendors and their potential customers. The colorful Market, complete with live on-air promotion via HOT 105, is set to be a festive celebration of the county's economic diversity, according to Miami-Dade County.
This National Small Business Month honors the indelible impact of mom-and-pop endeavors on the nation's economy, with events just like this Marketplace spearheading the effort. The Miami-Dade County Office of Innovation and Economic Development doesn't play favorites; they're all about inclusivity, pledging to cast a wide net and engage a diverse array of businesses through a series of strategic initiatives in May.
Not just a shopping spree, this event is also an educational moment — it's the remedy for small businesses starved for connection and growth. By linking these businesses with a pool of experts and a vein of networking opportunities, the county is planting seeds for future success. Taking place at the Stephen P. Clark Government Center, located at 111 NW 1st Street in Miami, this Marketplace might just be the jumping-off point your business has been waiting for.
