Buyer-Supplier Matchmaking Event

Pure Michigan Business Connect (PMBC) and the Michigan Department of Agriculture and Rural Development (MDARD) are excited to partner with the MSU Product Center to provide a buyer-supplier matchmaking event and more.

Pure Michigan Business Connect (PMBC) and the Michigan Department of Agriculture and Rural Development (MDARD) are excited to partner with the MSU Product Center on the Making It In Michigan 2024 event. As a part of the Making It In Michigan event, PMBC & MDARD will host one-on-one matchmaking meetings bringing together purchasers including grocers, retailers, distributors, institutional buyers, or others looking to source Michigan-made food and beverage products, with Michigan food and agricultural businesses from around the state.

MICHIGAN FOOD & BEVERAGE BUSINESSES: Would you like to get your Michigan-made innovative products in front of buyers and distributors? A supplier application will open in early February, though you are encouraged to submit an interest form HERE, to be notified when the application opens. Not all businesses may be selected for meetings, but are able to take advantage of other great Making It In Michigan resources and programming opportunities (mentioned below).

We encourage you to review these resources to prepare you to be "buyer-ready", and to learn of additional business support services through PMBC and MDARD:
