Hy-Vee has committed $50,000 to advancing local minority- and women- owned businesses across Nebraska and surrounding states.

If you represent a minority- or woman-owned business, submit a free application to participate in a pitch competition during Hy-Vee’s OpportUNITY Inclusive Business Summit at the Scott Conference Center in Omaha on Wednesday, January 31, 2024. Selected businesses will be invited to present their products or services to a panel of judges for the chance to win up to $30,000! Additional cash investments may be awarded and select finalists may be invited to participate in a roundtable meeting with Hy-Vee following the summit.

Not interested in pitching? No problem! The summit offers minority- and woman-owned business owners the chance to participate in a full-day of networking and professional development at no cost. Attendees will enjoy an expo that offers resources for small businesses, learning opportunities through presentations and panel discussions, the chance to be inspired by others and more.
