Derby train-maker Bombardier is currently bidding for the right to supply £1 billion of trains.
George Cowcher, chief executive of Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire Chamber of Commerce, said: "Derby and its surrounding area is home to the largest cluster of rail-related companies in Europe and has the skills and expertise to deliver innovative solutions to more than match the requirements of the Crossrail contracts on offer.
"The chamber would urge all local businesses to make the most of the opportunities this investment has created."
Firms should sign up to the CompeteFor website or log onto Crossrail's website.
