2008 SBIR STTR National Spring Conference 27-30 May 2008

Orlando, Florida

The SBIR (Small Business Innovation Research)
and
STTR (Small Business Technology Transfer) Programs

For 25 years, the federal government has provided funding to small business engaged in innovative research through the SBIR Program.  This year there is a $2.2 Billion appropriation set aside for the SBIR/STTR Program.  Eligible small businesses have an opportunity to compete for “Phase I” SBIR and STTR grants and contract of up to $100,000 to undertake a feasibility analysis on their idea, and Phase II awards of up to $750,000 to undertake their research.

Join us in Orlando for the largest gathering of federal physical and bioscience grant and contract funding agencies in the history of the SBIR/STTR Program. The 2008 SBIR/STTR National Spring Conference in Orlando will bring together not only federal program administrators from all of the 11 SBIR participating agencies, but also venture capital and angel investors, secondary market and traditional lenders, university and federal laboratory representatives and other experts who provide assistance with the scale-up of early-stage ventures.  You will also hear presentation by SBIR Award winners who have successfully commercialized their research.  The following link will provide additional information for the conference http://www.sbirflorida.org/
