Join the San José State Silicon Valley SBDC workshop to learn about The Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) and Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) programs which provide an opportunity for small businesses to tap into federal funding to conduct research and development on promising new innovations and technologies.

The Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) and Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) programs provide an opportunity for small businesses to tap into federal funding to conduct research and development on promising new innovations and technologies. With $4 billion available annually, the programs are a source of seed capital for early-stage companies.
