NEARSOURCING

CONNECT’s Nearsourcing Roundtable program focuses on developing and expanding the local Production Clusters in San Diego. The purpose of the program is to educate our region’s entrepreneurs and emerging businesses on the benefits of contracting with local manufacturers, to match San Diego companies in need of outsourcing with San Diego outsourcing companies and to engage San Diego’s nearsourcing community. In addition to the Roundtables, there will also be regularly-scheduled educational workshops teaching our entrepreneurial community about the benefits of nearsourcing.
