The Mentor Protégé Program (MPP) has been established to help small businesses develop and expand in the government marketplace with the assistance of large businesses. The Department of Defense (DoD) and the Small Business Administration (SBA) both have MPP programs. In this presentation we will review the MPP programs, compare the two MPP programs, and explore how small businesses can participate in these programs as part of the defense industrial base. We will also provide resources to determine if the MPP programs are right for you.

This APEX Accelerator is funded in part through a cooperative agreement with the Department of Defense.
