Intro to SBIR/STTR and Commercialization Planning

The Federal SBIR/STTR programs award over $2.6 billion in high risk R&D funding annually to qualified small businesses. The process is complex with a steep learning curve, but the impact of receiving $millions in non-dilutive funding is worth the effort. Attend this morning session and learn about SBIR/STTR eligibility, selecting the right agency and key components of a competitive proposal.

Then stay for a Lunch & Learn covering essential elements of a credible commercialization plan, including agency expectations, components of an effective plan, sources of market research data, and supporting documents you will need. A credible commercialization strategy not only helps you evaluate your customers and market, it is critical to garnering the attention of future funding sources, so be sure to stay for this portion of the program!
