You have an idea, so how do you finance it?

Join Connie Casteel, with the Advanced Technology Development Center (ADTC), as she covers the different federal funding assistance programs that are available for small to medium manufacturers. These funding opportunities, Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) and Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR), provide non-dilutive research funding to help businesses prove its technology is feasible and provides the incentive to profit from its commercialization.

  • Eligibility requirements to qualify for funding opportunities.
  • How we can help you navigate and coach you through the proposal process.
