Source Louisiana Accelerator Program, powered by Blue Wave — Cohort 2 Started! With more than 50 small and medium‑sized businesses participating, the State of Louisiana launched the second cohort of the Source Louisiana Accelerator Program in Baton Rouge on June 9, 2026. Delivered in partnership with Blue Wave, this structured, cohort‑based accelerator is designed to help Louisiana businesses align with the expectations of major buyers. The program supports participants in strengthening the core processes, policies, and capabilities that matter most in procurement and contracting decisions. Companies gain clarity on international standards, receive practical guidance for improvement, and earn a visible certification that signals supplier readiness. #smallbusinessdevelopment #economicdevelopment #louisiana #louisianaeconomicdevelopment #localcontent #supplychain #valuechain
