SBA Michigan District Office ABCs of SBIR/STTR Funding - Workshop for Tech Companies, August 14 - Detroit - Grand Circus Thursday, August 14, 6-8 p.m. Grand Circus 1570 Woodward Ave, Detroit 48226   Federal funding through the SBIR and STTR programs can be a valuable part of taking your research out of the lab and into the marketplace. This informative session will introduce you to the two programs, which provide $2.6 billion in non-dilutive R&D grants and contracts to small businesses annually. Descriptions of program purposes, eligibility requirements, participating agencies and more will be discussed.  Then learn about Michigan's wide array of commercialization resources for technology-based companies, which is both remarkable… and a little daunting. Find out what commercialization resources are out there, what each has to offer and how to tap into them!  A light meal and beverages will be served. Complimentary program, but registration is required.  REGISTER: https://fastconnect81414.eventbrite.com  Your Presenter Kristin Burgard is a Principal Consultant and manages the Michigan FASTconnect Program for BBC Entrepreneurial Training & Consulting. She has 13 years of experience in the areas of commercialization, life science consulting, sales and product management.
