SUMMARY:Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Road Trip
DESCRIPTION:The SBIR Road Tour is a national outreach effort connecting entrepreneurs working on advanced technologies to the country’s largest source of early stage funding – the SBIR/STTR programs. Also known as America’s Seed Fund\, the SBIR/STTR programs provide over $3 billion in funding to small businesses each year in a wide variety of technology areas. \nEach SBIR Road Tour stop\, hosted by a local organization\, will provide attendees with an opportunity to hear directly from the participating federal agency program managers that administer over 5\,000 new awards annually and to meet one-on-one with program decision makers. \nLocal innovation supporters in communities who have historically underutilized the opportunities provided through the SBIR/STTR programs have invited representatives of America’s Largest Seed Fund to engage the small advanced technology community\, including women and minority-owned research and development businesses. Every SBIR Road Tour stop represents a coveted opportunity to meet directly with Federal and State Program Managers who seed a wide spectrum of innovative ideas\, while learning about your state sponsored innovation support infrastructure. \nThe Albany Event will take place on Tuesday\, September 17.  \nHosted by: NY Small Business Development Center in partnership with SUNY (State University of NY)\, Innovation Center at the University at Albany\, and Innovate 518 \nMORE INFORMATION >>  |  REGISTER >> \n  \n
