Topic 1:
Creating Innovative & Diverse Solutions
for Growth
Innovation
is an essential strategy for ensuring
your company is positioned to meet
customer needs. The innovative
approaches taken by our suppliers enable
them to meet Toyota’s standards for
enhanced quality, safety and
cost-effectiveness as well as bring our
company numerous competitive advantages.
Hear from a
panel of Toyota Tier I and Tier II MBE
suppliers as they share real examples of
how innovation makes their companies
stronger and better positioned for
sustained growth. |

Topic 2:
Developing Innovative Relationships for
Long-term Viability
It takes
time and focused effort to establish and
nurture quality business relationships
that result in tangible opportunities.
What are the best practices for MBEs and
Tier I suppliers to build a solid
network of contacts?
This
session offers practical tips for both
Tier I suppliers and MBEs—from
identifying trusted resources and venues
for seeking new relationships to ideas
for how you can develop and build true
partnerships that yield positive
outcomes and quantifiable results. |
