Exclusive MWBE Workshops to Fuel Growth in the Clean Energy Sector
Massachusetts manufacturers are stepping into a moment of extraordinary opportunity—especially those looking to enter or expand within the fast-growing clean energy sector. To support that momentum, MassMEP is launching a focused workshop series at the end of January and into early February, designed to help companies understand the market, identify new opportunities, and take confident steps toward growth.
Who These Workshops Are For
These sessions are offered at no cost to women- and minority-owned manufacturers, with a track designed to support successful entry into the clean energy sector. Contract manufacturers are also welcome to participate at a standard registration cost ($300), ensuring broader access for companies eager to explore new markets and diversify their customer base.
Introducing MassMEP’s Technology-Driven Market Intelligence
This workshop series also marks the introduction of MassMEP’s newest product: Technology-Driven Market Intelligence (TDMI), a structured process that provides clarity, data, and direction for manufacturers ready to grow or innovate. These three workshops are the recommended starting point for any company considering a TDMI engagement.
You may be ready for TDMI if any of the following sound familiar:
-
You’re seeking new business opportunities
-
You believe your current product or service has untapped potential
-
You want to enter a new market but don’t know where to start
-
You need clarity on industry trends, customer needs, or competitors
-
You’re considering product innovation and need validation
-
You want market-driven insight to decide if an idea is worth pursuing
Why These Workshops Matter
Manufacturers across the Commonwealth are navigating shifts in customer demand, supply chain expectations, and emerging technology, especially in clean energy. For MWBE manufacturers, targeted guidance and insight can accelerate growth. For contract manufacturers, this series offers a structured path to diversify, build resilience, and pursue new sectors with greater confidence.
This series will help participants:
-
Understand where clean energy (and other) opportunities are emerging
-
Identify how existing capabilities align with market needs
-
Build confidence in pursuing new customer segments
-
Prepare for a deeper TDMI engagement when market validation or innovation is the next step
What You’ll Work Through
Across three interactive sessions, attendees will build practical, actionable tools for growth, including:
-
Refining and strengthening your value proposition
-
Building a marketing strategy for new market entry
-
Assessing fit within the clean energy landscape and identifying potential customers
These workshops are designed to be hands-on—built to spark ideas, challenge assumptions, and send you back to your business with next steps you can actually use.
