- 1:00 PM3hSBA Workshop: Insight into the Federal Market Research ProcessLive Workshop: Market research is the process of gathering and analyzing information about a market to inform procurement decisions. It's a crucial step in ensuring the government gets the best value for its money. In collaboration with the APEX Accelerator specialists, we plan to address how AI not only speeds up the process but also enhances the quality and relevance of the insights gained. By automating routine tasks and providing advanced analytical capabilities, AI empowers federal agencies and contractors to make informed decisions, ultimately leading to more effective procurement strategies. As the federal landscape continues to evolve, leveraging AI for market research will likely become an essential practice for success. There will be Q&A at the end of the presentation.Attendees will be briefed by the University of Central Florida APEX Accelerator regarding free technical assistance available to all small businesses in the government contracting arena.
