Small technical consultants, high-tech firms and engineering companies will benefit from learning about the direct contracts that TDA awards for pre-feasibility study work on potential projects. Large companies working in infrastructure and industrial sectors should attend to learn about bidding on TDA-funded feasibility studies and serving as suppliers on projects in the implementation phase.
