Pure Michigan Business Connect (PMBC) is partnering with Connected Nation Michigan, Procurement Technical Assistance Centers (PTAC’s), and the Michigan Economic Development Corporation’s Market Development team to help Michigan’s Internet Service Providers (ISPs) procure the necessary commodities (e.g., fiber-optic cable, splice closures, concrete vaults, handholes, etc.) needed to deploy new broadband networks in Michigan and ensure the once-in-a-generation opportunities of the new IIJA and other funds can be realized to connect all Michiganders.

The partner group will host a panel discussion on August 10, 2022, on the Connect Space virtual event platform. This virtual session will include the Michigan High-Speed Internet Office and 2-3 Internet Service Providers (ISPS) / Broadband Prime Contractors. The discussion will include current and projected supply-chain needs.

Registration for the webinar is now open for businesses interested in learning about anticipated broadband projects, and how their products/services may be relevant.
