The program has since evolved to create even more impactful conversations and opportunities, helping veteran entrepreneurs compete for contracts with Corporate America. 


Sessions like MFM Education & Development offer practical training to help VBEs® navigate procurement processes, while MFM Corporate Engagement provides access to exclusive insights from corporate leaders on current and future contracting needs.
