U.S. Small Business Administration Initiatives
The U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) has launched its “Made in America” Manufacturing Initiative—a nationwide effort to strengthen and grow small and mid-sized manufacturers.
As part of this effort, the SBA is expanding access to capital, federal contracting opportunities, workforce development partnerships, and technical assistance—all tailored to meet the unique needs of manufacturers.
