NSBDC presents program for high-tech start-ups - Sept 8
Event:
Small Business Innovation Research seminar
Presenter:
Dr. Fritz Grupe 
Description:
The Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) and the Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) programs represent the largest source of early-stage funding for high-tech start-up companies in the United States. These federally-mandated programs provide more than $2 billion every year to small, for-profit companies to carry out leading-edge high-risk research and to grow their businesses. More than 40% of these funds are awarded to companies with 10 or fewer employees and much of the money goes to companies with just 1-3 employees. Nearly 1/3 of the awards go to first-time winners every year.
NSBDC is offering a workshop, led by Dr. Fritz Grupe, to provide attendees with an overview of the programs and how businesses that can develop their own, unique hardware and software products can submit proposals to compete for these funds. This workshop will not benefit operators of retail stores, franchises, services and the like. You are invited to contact Dr. Grupe for information about these programs at any time (775-813-7407).
