Events

The 2020 Regional SBIR Weeks are virtual, collaborative outreach efforts 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 $3.7 billion in funding to small businesses each year in a wide variety of technology areas.

The September 14 Virtual Panel Presentations will be followed by four, day-long one on one sessions hosted by local organizations in Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Georgia. Virginia-based co’s will meet virtually with agencies on Friday, Sept. 18.  These sessions will provide attendees with an opportunity to hear directly from the participating federal agency program managers that administer over 5,500 new awards annually and to meet virtually one-on-one with program decision makers.
