Registrations are now open for the free Meet the Buyer event, to be held at the Adelaide Entertainment Centre on Tuesday 2 July.

Being hosted by The Office of the Industry Advocate, the event is a chance for businesses to enhance their visibility, expand their networks and potentially secure lucrative government contracts.

This year's Meet the Buyer is expected to be the biggest to date and will feature 53 exhibitors from across SA Government departments, including new additions such as Northern Water and the Office of Hydrogen Power SA.

The SA Health hub will offer multiple opportunities for engagement across procurement and supply chain management, Local Health Ambulance Networks, Digital Health SA, Infrastructure, the New Women’s and Children’s Health Network, and SA Ambulance Service.

Additionally, three head contractors currently delivering state-funded major projects will be in attendance, keen to maximise opportunities for the involvement of South Australian businesses, including Aboriginal and regional businesses.

Past event attendee Dario Salvatore, Director at Hodgkison Architects, said the event was a 'must attend'.

"Over recent years, Hodgkison has now attended a number of Meet the Buyer events, and we have found them to be engaging and genuinely helpful in understanding who the various State Government Departments are," Mr Salvatore said.

"We have met with some key representatives who offer good information about their business, including needs, focus and potential pipeline of work."

The event is open to businesses of all sizes and sectors, from startups to established enterprises, including those in manufacturing, technology, construction, professional services and more.
