PARTNERSHIPS

Ascend’s corporate and large privately held partners, along with anchor institutions, are committed to scaling suppliers and contractors. They utilize the Ascend National Cohort and some of the Ascend City programs as one of their supplier development tools. Each year these partners nominate current suppliers to participate in an Ascend program. Many partners are also interested in meeting other Ascend companies to determine if they are potential new suppliers or contractors, and many partners provide financial support for Ascend programming.
