On April 17, Metro State University, in collaboration with the Neighborhood Development Center (NDC) and Stearns Bank, proudly hosted a Small Business Resource Fair—a dynamic event designed to connect, network, and share valuable resources to support the success of small businesses.
The fair was supported by approximately 16 partner organizations and institutions, each contributing valuable expertise and services. Among them, the Metro State Cyber Clinic offered sign-ups for free cybersecurity risk assessments, helping local businesses strengthen their cyber hygiene and resilience. Attendees explored services, learned about tools to strengthen their operations, and built meaningful connections with fellow entrepreneurs. Together, we continue to empower and uplift small businesses in our communities.
