Understanding SBIR/STTR Programs: DARPA, NAVY, Air Force, NSF, NASA Day Two

Online registration for the event is now closed. Please come to the event at Westward Look and register on-site. We are looking forward to seeing you.

Each year, the Federal government makes millions of agency R&D dollars available through its SBIR (Small Business Innovation Research) and STTR (Small Business Technology Transfer) programs. Plugging into this funding, finding partners and responding to program solicitations takes planning, expertise, and multi-organizational teamwork.

Join us for this state-wide, two-day event organized by Tech House with the University of Arizona’s Tech Launch Arizona and Tech Parks Arizona in partnership with the Arizona Commerce Authority and the Arizona Center for Innovation.

Get the help you need to plan your strategies, build your teams and have success.
