About Innovation & Technology
The Nebraska Business Development Center (NBDC) offers confidential advisory services for researchers, entrepreneurs, and established businesses with technology they seek to commercialize. Our services include market research, business plan development, applications for funding opportunities, and more.
Thanks to support from the Small Business Administration's Federal and State Technology (FAST) Partnership Program, NBDC consulting services are available at no cost throughout our statewide network. Through this program, NBDC seeks to increase the number of SBIR/STTR proposals leading to an increase in the number of SBIR/STTR awards from women, socially/economically disadvantaged individuals, and small businesses in underrepresented areas - especially rural counties.
Here is what we do:
- Business plan development and review
- Research on competitors, products and markets
- Assistance with grants, SBA Loans, commercial loans, angel, and venture capital funding opportunities
- Offer workshops tailored to innovation-driven entrepreneurs
We Focus on:
- Engineering, bio-medical, or I.T. businesses - particularly those engaged in software development or telecommunications
- Individuals seeking to commercialize innovative ideas, products or services
