What is the NYS MWBE Program?
The New York State Minority & Women-Owned Business Enterprise (MWBE) Program was created to ensure qualified minority- and women-owned businesses gain real access to public and private contracting dollars.
New York State requires its agencies, authorities, and commissions to award a percentage of their contracts to certified MWBE businesses. That means billions of dollars in opportunities are set aside every year — but only for businesses that are properly certified and positioned.
To qualify, a business must be at least 51% owned, operated, and controlled by a minority or woman. But eligibility alone doesn’t unlock contracts — execution does.
This is where AMBE steps in.
We don’t just help businesses apply. We help them qualify, get approved, and use certification as a growth tool.

Eligibility → Certification → Positioning → Growth
The Opportunity Is Real.
The Process Is Not Simple.
