The document discusses the benefits of collaboration between businesses. It provides examples of how the UNC System Triad Coalition has facilitated collaboration between minority and majority contractors. Through the coalition's mentorship program, minority firms have received assistance from majority firms in areas like estimating and project management. The coalition also organized a healthcare symposium that allowed minority contractors to meet healthcare firms and learn about opportunities in that industry. As a result of these collaborative efforts, one minority firm was able to win contracts to build medical facilities. The document advocates that when collaboration helps a business, they should share their successes to encourage more partnerships in the future.
