DelACCESS Consortium Drives Regional
Small Business Economy
The DelACCESS Consortium is a
private/public partnership that focuses on driving small
business growth in Delaware, Maryland, New Jersey and
Pennsylvania through inclusive sourcing, technology and
supplier diversity initiatives. Mike Bowman, Chairman and
President of the Delaware Technology Park and a board director
of the DelACCESS Consortium said, “Small companies account for
almost 85 percent of employment and are viewed as the innovators in
the region; however, they depend on revenue from larger
corporations and institutions. Better connections between these
sectors through the education and business processes of DelACCESS Consortium will yield enormous economic benefits for
all.” For more information about DelACCESS, visit
