The conversation highlighted the contribution that small businesses have in DOE’s mission and success. Ike White shared how groundbreaking the involvement of small businesses are to the DOE-EM program. About 1/3 of EM’s work is done by small businesses. Martin Schneider mentioned that small businesses bring two major factors to the table on projects. Those are efficiency and innovation, which continues to result in success.
