Learn How to Tap into a Billion-Dollar Business Resource... at the National Small Business Innovation Research Conference

 

Small businesses can learn how to apply for, and what it takes to win, some of the $1+billion in U.S. Government R&D investments at the 2000 National SBIR Conference this fall in Seattle. Organizations already involved in SBIR can get updates on the program, business trends, meet investors and network with other winners on their Phase III activity. This year's collocation of the SBIR Conference with the 11th annual Technology 2000 Series Expo and the 3rd annual Small Business Tech Expo will bring many representatives from large corporations, federal agencies/laboratories and other small businesses wanting to discuss R&D, partnering, and commercialization opportunities. In addition you can also attend sessions and workshops geared to provide information to firms that want to start participating in the SBIR program; firms currently in the program looking to further develop their technologies; and, firms ready to bring their technologies to the marketplace.
