Minneapolis event July 17
6/30/2017 2:00:00 PM
The SBIR Road Tour is a national outreach effort to convey the non-dilutive technology funding opportunity provided through the Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) and Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) programs. Federal program managers representing $2.5 billion in early-stage funding have been invited to present at a series of events to technology entrepreneurs and innovation supporters from across the United States.
The Minneapolis event on July 17 is a great opportunity for those involved in industry and academic research, broad advanced science and the technology communities spanning medical devices, biotech, defense, environmental, Internet of Things and digital health care. It includes a strong focus on women-owned and minority-owned firms to increase their participation in the programs.
If you're an innovator, entrepreneur, researcher, or small technology firm seeking non-dilutive government funding, take advantage of this coveted local opportunity to hear directly from federal agency program managers, and meet one-on-one with program decision makers.
