SHATTER FOUNDATION
As part of our mission "to create market visibility, lower barriers, and enable access in government markets," we are continuing our work to understand and eradicate barriers that prevent innovative, small and underserved organizations from entering or scaling within the $13 trillion global government market.
The Barriers to Entry and Commercialization initiative is led by Public Spend Forum, in collaboration with faculty from NC State University, University of Chicago and the Shatter Foundation. Objectives include:
Continuously understand barriers and emerging solutions/approaches that enable easier access to govt markets.
Additionally, understand barriers to scaling and commercialization, which go beyond government market barriers.
Identify promising solutions/practices that can be scaled while creating policy imperative to drive additional solutions.
Drive collaboration across the entire public sector ecosystem.
Join us June 7th, 1pm EST, for our 2nd Barriers to Entry and Commercialization Roundtable. You will hear from leaders and experts in the industry on what practical steps can be taken to lowering barriers and enabling access/scaling for innovative, small and underserved businesses.
See 1st Roundtable on Barriers to Entry here. More details to follow shortly.

By gathering input from thousands of suppliers across industries, our goal is to identify the top barriers faced by suppliers.
