About STBBCE 2010

Honorary co-chairs Congressmen Hinojosa, Cuellar and Ortiz along with the South Texas Border Business Contracting Expo Planning Committee, are pleased to offer this exciting contracting event to border businesses in the South Texas/Rio Grande Valley. Owners of small and disadvantaged businesses will have the opportunity to meet face-to-face with many federal, state & local agencies and corporate representatives.  Bringing together public and private agencies with potential suppliers, as well as prime contractors and subcontractors, the STBBC Expo is sure to build an awareness and increase contract opportunities for border businesses.

The Contracting Expo will be held in the largest MSA of the Rio Grande Valley border region – a booming area with fast-growth prospects.   Its “Deep South” location is known for its bi-cultural, Hispanic community, uniquely manifested in its cross-border relations and diverse economy.  These characteristics merge to make the Rio Grande Valley a distinctive hub of opportunities for business owners.  Quite aware of the flourishing economy, RGV residents continuously engage in business activity with diverse perspectives which give fruition to inimitable, enterprising spirits – a life force all on its own.  Come meet these border businesses and help us make this a great event!

For greatest impact to the attendee, the Contracting Expo is comprised of an exhibit hall with federal, state & local agencies and corporate representatives; training tracks on local, state, federal, and corporate contracting; and one-on-one matchmaking sessions.  Training and informational sessions include certifications and registrations, successful marketing, obtaining contracts and financing, and many more.
