Greater Jamaica Development Corporation proudly announces the launch of our MWBE Accelerator — a personalized business advancement experience fully funded by the New York City Council. This exclusive initiative is designed to help established Minority- or Women-Owned Business Enterprises across New York City compete, thrive, and create sustainable success.

Participants will receive customized support services tailored to their individual business goals and growth challenges, informed by the specific needs identified through participant feedback. This includes but is not limited to:

high-touch technical assistance
capital access
no-cost consultations with attorneys, accountants, and other financial professionals
participation in specialized small business learning modules.

The Accelerator will also feature virtual procurement training sessions with purchasing executives from leading corporations and agencies — where participants will receive direct feedback and insider insights on vendor requirements and contracting opportunities.

Taken together, this program will equip selected M/WBE’s with the tools to successfully bid on contracts, increase revenue, and establish best practices for growth.
