What is the Southeast Pennsylvania APEX Accelerator?
The Southeast Pennsylvania APEX Accelerator (SE PA APEX) is funded by the Department of Defense (DoD). The PTAP program provides matching funds through cooperative agreements with the DoD and are part of a national program authorized by Congress in 1985 to expand the number of businesses capable of participating in the government marketplace. Our Philadelphia center is supported by 2 host universities – Kutztown University and Widener University, allowing our office to cover 8 different counties in the southeast portion of the state.
APEXs are staffed with counselors experienced in government contracting, and all participate in ongoing professional training required to keep pace with continually evolving acquisition procedures and policies. Our counselors help businesses of all sizes market to the government – federal, state, and local.
Businesses that want to get into government contracting and need assistance can do no better than to talk to an APEX – they are the go-to people for marketing your products or services to the government. APEX counselors can teach you how to explore the government arena for possible contract opportunities.
This APEX Accelerator is funded in part through a cooperative agreement with the Department of Defense.
