SBIR STTR 2024 Road Tour
The U.S. Small Business Administration will hit the road again with America’s Seed Fund 2024 Road Tour. From January 23 – 25, the tour kicks off with America’s Seed Fund Week, the Virtual Road Tour, followed by four in-person tours that will connect entrepreneurs working on advanced technology to the country’s largest source of early-stage funding – America’s Seed Fund.
America’s Seed Fund Road Tour is a national outreach effort that conveys the technology funding opportunities provided through America’s Seed Fund, including the Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) and Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) programs. This year, each Road Tour stop will be hosted by SBA’s Federal And State Technology (FAST) Partners who serve as navigators for America’s Seed Fund in their regions.
America’s Seed Fund Road Tour plays an important role in encouraging participation in innovation and entrepreneurship by members of underrepresented groups while supporting the mission of the SBIR/STTR programs to support scientific excellence and technological innovation to build a strong national economy.
