Meet the Buyer 2026: Strategic Matching Event

Meet the Buyer is designed to elevate the visibility of Western Sydney SMEs and help establish new business relationships with buyers who have upcoming procurement needs for projects planned over the next 12 to 18 months.

Through a series of pre-scheduled, 15-minute one-on-one meetings, your business will gain direct access to major procurement opportunities and valuable industry insights.

This strategic networking event goes beyond conversations - it’s about opening doors, building long-term partnerships, and enhancing local capability. By supporting local suppliers, we strengthen Western Sydney’s economy and help create more local jobs.

This opportunity is ideal for Western Sydney small to medium enterprises (SMEs) that are looking to grow their business through upcoming procurement opportunities.

We encourage submissions from businesses that:

• Provide products or services relevant to major projects and procurement pipelines across Western Sydney
• Are ready to engage with active buyers and demonstrate their capability in a competitive environment
• Have the capacity to deliver within the next 12 to 18 months
• Are seeking to build new relationships and expand their networks within the local supply chain
• Are committed to contributing to the growth and sustainability of the Western Sydney economy

Whether you are an established supplier or an emerging business ready to scale, this initiative is designed to connect you with the right opportunities and decision-makers.

There is no cost to submit an Expression of Interest (EOI) for this event.

Only successful EOIs will be subject to a registration fee.
