What buyers should share
Tell us what your organization needs—a supplier, a technology solution, or someone with relevant experience. MEDC uses that context to find companies you could learn from or work with.
- Describe the need. Visit the buyer discussion in the OCTC portal for instructions and the Connect Space intake form to describe what you're looking for.
- Review potential matches. MEDC recruits Michigan companies around those needs and recommends matches for your review.
- Meet at MITechCon. Once matches are confirmed, MEDC schedules up to four 15-minute meetings through Connect Space.
03 · For suppliers
What suppliers should share
Tell us what your company does and the problems you help solve. MEDC compares that experience with buyer needs and arranges meetings where there's a fit.
You can express interest as a buyer, a supplier, or both.
