The Minority Business Development Agency (MBDA) kicked off the 28th annual National Minority Enterprise Development (MED) Week Conference at the Omni-Shoreham Hotel in Washington, D.C. The conference focuses on “Strategies for Growth and Competitiveness in the Global Economy.”

The MED Week Conference helps minority-owned firms grow domestically and globally through a series of educational, training and business-to-business networking events. Throughout MED Week, nearly 1,500 minority business owners, government officials and corporate representatives will hear about President Obama’s National Export Initiative and develop the skills to become export ready. Minority businesses already export twice as much as the average business, as they often have existing cultural, family or business ties to foreign countries.
