Our Mission is to Keep America Competitive
MBDA fosters the growth and global competitiveness of U.S. businesses that are minority-owned. MBDA is building minority-owned firms of size, scale and capacity. More than 6,000 new jobs were created and thousands more were retained by minority firms in 2010 as a result of MBDA’s programs and services.
Serving Minority Businesses Since 1969
MBDA is the only federal agency dedicated to creating minority firms of size, scale and capacity. In 2010, MBDA helped minority firms access nearly $4.0 billion in contracts and capital.
Creating a New Generation of Multi-Million Dollar Firms
MBDA serves minority entrepreneurs across America who are building and growing their enterprises and those in the high growth or new frontier industries. In doing so, minority-owned firms are better equipped to create jobs, impact local economies by contributing to the tax base, and compete successfully in domestic and global marketplaces.
