Where we can help you grow
Pathways to scale
Explore the growth programs Oakland Thrive offers to established Oakland County businesses.
Government Contracting
When thinking about who to sell to, have you considered the government? Local, county, state, and federal governments buy everything from toothbrushes to technology — in fact, the government is the largest purchaser of goods and services in the U.S. Our consultants help you get registered, research opportunities, and navigate the process. Ask us about set-asides for 8(a), local, and woman-owned companies.
Child Care Business Support
We offer services to help child care businesses thrive in Oakland County including access to capital, site location, workforce development, and more.
Defense & Aerospace
Do you sell a part, technology, or innovation in demand by the Army, Air Force, Marines, Navy, NASA, or other Department of Defense unit or aerospace manufacturer? Working with our resource partners at APEX and others, Thrive can set you on the path to DOD contracting. Don't miss Oakland County's annual Defense & Aerospace Conference.
Business Intelligence
We help Oakland County businesses analyze data to make data-informed decisions — leveraging SEO, usability data, market research, GIS, and AI. Our goal is to make data applicable, affordable, and understandable to businesses of all shapes, sizes, and industries.
