Small and Medium sized Businesses face unique problems which has been exacerbated post-pandemic. We recognize that the SMB ecosystem is the life blood of the Arizona commerce ecosystem providing the majority of employment and growth.

SMB Lab Powered by ASU is a new initiative. By bringing together subject matter experts, faculty and students from ASU, nagging business problems will be identified and prioritized, and a team will be assigned to work with a company to find a solution that aims to work. Areas of initial focus will be related to supply chain and its impact on profitability, technology, risk management and sustainability across all industry segments. This list can be expanded through mutual discussion.

Benefits

• Solve problems working with subject matter experts, stakeholders, faculty and students.
• Learn, collaborate, connect and recruit.
• Elevate a problem to appropriate decision makers if it is faced by many companies.
• No current financial commitment.
