Event Details

Innovation
the introduction of something new; a new idea, method or device

The goal of the 2007 Manufacturing & Technology Roundtable (MTR) is to provide minority business owners the opportunity to garner knowledge and direction from the current results and trends of business innovation.

The 2007 MTR will provide a platform for some of the most pioneering business leaders in the United States to identify their company’s innovative methods and activities, and thus help members of the minority business community acquire vital information that will shape their plans for the future.

Additionally, the Central Illinois MTR will provide an exhibition opportunity to showcase a wide variety of products and services available from minority-owned businesses and highlight resources that are available to assist minority-owned businesses. Banks and financiers will be invited to participate in the exhibition, providing loan and investment information to minority entrepreneurs.

The MTR will also offer a unique opportunity to network with other minority business owners, buying decision makers, business resource organizations as well as countless other useful resources.

Council Enterprise's role is to support and develop minority-owned businesses by facilitating important connections between corporations and minority suppliers. Our regional Council operates under the umbrella of the National Minority Supplier Development Council, one of the country's leading business membership organizations. It was chartered in 1972 to provide increased procurement and business opportunities for minority businesses of all sizes. The NMSDC network includes a national office in New York and 39 regional Councils across the country. There are 3,500 corporate members throughout the network, including most of America's largest publicly-owned, privately-owned and foreign-owned companies, as well as universities, hospitals and other buying institutions. As a regional Council, we certify and match minority-owned businesses (Asian, Black, Hispanic and Native American) with member corporations that want to purchase goods and services. Through our events we are able to provide opportunities of exchange and partnership to both supplier and corporate members. Our territory includes the state of Wisconsin, Central Illinois and Iowa. Council leadership is provided by President, Floyd Rose, Ph.D.
