Miami-Dade County is celebrating National Small Business Month this May with a dynamic series of events organized by Mayor Daniella Levine Cava’s STRIVE305 program, aimed at supporting and empowering local entrepreneurs across the county.
National Small Business Month recognizes the critical role that small businesses play in driving economic growth, creating jobs, and fostering innovation in communities across America. In Miami-Dade County, where small businesses make up over 90% of the business community, this month-long celebration highlights the entrepreneurial spirit that defines the region’s economy.
Among the many small business events taking place, STRIVE305 has organized four signature events throughout May to provide valuable resources, networking opportunities, and educational experiences for small business owners:
Culinary Connections (May 13)
The month kicks off with Culinary Connections, a forum for Miami-Dade’s vibrant food industry. Chefs, restaurateurs, and caterers will gather to discuss industry-specific challenges and opportunities with leading experts. The event offers a unique platform for culinary entrepreneurs to network, share experiences, and gain insights on navigating the competitive food landscape in South Florida.
Power Day & STRIVE305 (May 16)
Power Day combines educational workshops, resource connections, and strategic networking opportunities designed to empower small business owners with practical knowledge and valuable relationships. Participants will have access to experts in various fields including finance, marketing, technology, and business development, providing comprehensive support for growth and sustainability.
Small Business Saturday: Monthly Speaker Series (May 17)
This edition of the Monthly Small Business Speaker Series aligns with National Small Business Month to deliver targeted resources and expert advice. Featured speakers will address common challenges faced by small businesses and provide actionable strategies for overcoming obstacles to growth.
Market Makers Event (May 20)
Rounding out the month’s celebrations, the Makers Market Event will transform the Miami-Dade County Government Center into a vibrant marketplace showcasing local entrepreneurs. Both general and food vendors will participate in the STRIVE305 pop-up market, giving them a platform to display their products and services to a wider audience while connecting directly with potential customers and business partners.
These events represent the commitment to nurturing an ecosystem where small businesses can start, grow, and prosper. All of Miami-Dade entrepreneurs are encouraged to take advantage of these opportunities to strengthen their businesses and contribute to the community’s economic vitality.
