With federal, state, and local government operations largely reopened, delayed contract awards, supplier onboarding, and procurement pipelines are coming back online in earnest. For minority-business enterprises (MBEs) in the NMSDC ecosystem, this reopening represents a timely inflection point: contracts once delayed are being released, new sourcing efforts are ramping, and companies (both public and private) are refocusing on supply-chain resilience and inclusion.

The 2025 National Minority Supplier Development Council (NMSDC) Annual Conference & Exchange in Miami was more than a convening — it was a recommitment. Under the theme “Navigating Our New Economy,” this year’s gathering demonstrated the full force of our network’s innovation, collaboration, and leadership as we build an economy that works for everyone.

As the NMSDC prepares for the 2025 Annual Conference & Exchange in Miami, the supplier inclusion community stands at an inflection point. The global economy is shifting – technology, trade, energy, and capital flows are being redefined faster than ever – and minority business enterprises (MBEs) must be equipped not only to adapt but to lead in this new era.
