As cities and institutions accelerate their sustainability commitments, small businesses are becoming essential partners in delivering innovative environmental solutions. This webinar highlights a Washington, DC–based initiative supporting entrepreneurs who are building or expanding sustainability-focused practices through financing, technical assistance, and ecosystem partnerships. Presenters will guide audience exchanges on how architects, developers, and institutions can incorporate these businesses into procurement pipelines and create more inclusive pathways to participate in green infrastructure and development projects. While centered on a DC project, the strategies and lessons shared have strong relevance for advancing sustainable procurement practices nationwide and globally. Presented by AIA's Housing and Community Development Knowledge Community.
