Save time, save taxpayer money, talk to groups of small business Innovators, select business problems that affect small businesses, conduct market research, talk about government needs. One- on- one meetings are redundant, not focused on business requirements, and aren’t long enough innovations to be discussed. The government needs a forum where multiple small businesses can provide a round table of innovations for a particular problem. There is also a dire need to save time and cut costs. It is also important to note that the government needs to be heard. Government participation in large forums or social media platforms including webinars and other events does not usually result in interactive sessions where small businesses are given the liberty to raise queries or express opinions or to present any innovations to the government.
