The SBIR Road Tour has moved online for 2020.
Still, the event connects entrepreneurs working on advanced technologies to the country’s largest source of early stage funding – federal SBIR/STTR programs. Also known as America’s Seed Fund, these programs provide more than $3.7 billion to small businesses each year. During SBIR Week, learn more about the SBIR/STTR program and other federal and state resources that help commercialize new technologies.
This event will benefit small businesses, innovators, researchers, entrepreneurs, and technology companies.
Cost: No fee. Register for each day and event individually.
