The U.S. Small Business Administration has launched a 16-stop road tour across the U.S. to connect entrepreneurs working on advanced technology to the country's largest source of early-stage funding – the Small Business Innovation Research and Small Business Technology Transfer programs. Also known as America's Largest Seed Fund, the SBIR/STTR programs focus on next-generation research and development and is led by the SBA with 11 participating federal agencies.
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 the state's innovation support infrastructure.
The SBIR Road Tour is a national outreach effort to convey the non-dilutive technology funding opportunity provided through the Small Business Innovation Research and Small Business Technology Transfer programs. Federal and state program managers representing the $2.5 billion in early-stage funding have been invited to attend a series of events alongside technology entrepreneurs and innovation supporters from across the United States.
Agenda highlights include:
- Reverse pitches from federal agencies
- Success stories and tips
