WASHINGTON — Today, the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) announced that Google has once again returned as a Gold Cosponsor for National Small Business Week 2026. Google will be featured at the National Awards Ceremony in Washington, D.C. on May 3rd and will take part in SBA events throughout the week from May 3-9, participating in the 2026 Virtual Summit and joining for several stops on the agency’s nationwide tour to Michigan, Pennsylvania, North Carolina, and Georgia.

“As more entrepreneurs use digital tools to expand their reach, we’re proud to continue working with private-sector leaders who make that progress possible,” said SBA Administrator Kelly Loeffler. “ We welcome Google’s return as a Gold Cosponsor for National Small Business Week and look forward to highlighting how technology and innovation are shaping the next chapter of America’s small business growth.”

Google’s ongoing support for this week-long celebration underscores its commitment to small business owners. Google offers solutions and educational resources designed to help support small business readiness, access and visibility.

“Small businesses are the economic engine of our communities, and at Google, we are dedicated to putting the power of digital innovation and AI into the hands of every entrepreneur,” President, Google Customer Solutions, Selin Song said. “We are proud to collaborate with the SBA to provide the tools and support small businesses need to scale faster and reach more customers than ever before. National Small Business Week is a vital moment to celebrate the resilience and ingenuity of America’s business owners.”

Since 1963, the President of the United States has declared National Small Business Week to recognize small businesses as the job creators, builders, and innovators of America’s economy. This year, small businesses are benefitting from a host of new pro-growth incentives introduced as part of the America First agenda – including historic deregulation, fair trade, and Working Family Tax Cuts that have already restored opportunity and investment on Main Street. Under President Trump, small business optimism has remained above its 52-year average.

Details on National Small Business Week, **** the Virtual Summit, and National Awards Ceremony are featured on www.sba.gov/NSBW and will be updated as additional information and activities are confirmed. Local events will be featured on www.sba.gov/events.
