The SBIR and STTR programs can be essential in supporting business and product strategies with funding from the federal government, as an alternative to or in coordination with other forms of business financing.

Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) and Small Business Technology Transfer Research (STTR) are federally-funded programs that support small business’ technology product development. These workshops will leverage on-going efforts of the Arizona Department of Commerce, the Arizona Technology Council and Maricopa Community Colleges to promote these programs in Arizona.
