2020 Virtual SBIR Road Tour
The MSI STEM Research & Development Consortium (MSRDC) is pleased to announce our strategic alliance memorandum with the Small Business Administration (SBA). As well, MSRDC is pleased to announce the 2020 SBIR Road Tour, which will be a virtual event this year due to the global pandemic. Due to this alliance MSRDC, SBA, and various universities will be working together on the SBIR road tour which starts August 10th-14th, dubbed “SBIR Week in the Rockies".

The 2020 Regional SBIR Weeks are virtual, collaborative outreach efforts connecting entrepreneurs working on advanced technologies to the country’s largest source of early stage funding – the SBIR/STTR programs. Also known as America’s Seed Fund, the SBIR/STTR programs provide over $3.7 billion in funding to small businesses each year in a wide variety of technology areas.
 
Each virtual event, hosted by a local organization, will provide attendees with an opportunity to hear directly from the participating federal agency program managers that administer over 5,500 new awards annually and to meet virtually one-on-one with program decision makers.
