Trailblazers in Business: Accelerating MWBE Certification in New York




Governor Kathy Hochul announced the Trailblazers in Business Certification Initiative to strengthen New York State's Minority and Women-owned Business Enterprise (MWBE) community. Running from January 20 through February 28, 2025, the Certification Initiative leverages the NY Small Business Development Center (SBDC) network and other business advisory centers to provide free, comprehensive support to help qualified MWBEs complete their applications for state certification.


Building on New York State's streamlined certification process, which already delivers decisions in as little as 90 days, participants in the Trailblazers in Business Certification Initiative can further accelerate the process by responding to information requests within five business days.


Check out the NYS MWBE page for more detail, and connect with a Pace SBDC business advisor for help with your MWBE application.
