The U.S. Small Business Administration’s (SBA) National SBIR Road Tour is coming to Fairbanks on Friday, July 20, giving Alaskan small businesses the coveted opportunity to learn firsthand about America’s largest seed fund. SBA leads the Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) and Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) programs, where the Federal Government awards over $2.5 billion annually to small businesses developing groundbreaking, high-risk technologies while taking no equity.

We are thrilled that the SBIR Road Tour is coming to Alaska! This is an opportunity for small businesses to directly connect with federal program managers and learn about the funding opportunities available through the SBIR/STTR programs, as well as resources available right here in Alaska!

The SBIR/STTR programs execute over 4,000 new awards per year. These awards have helped U.S. innovators advance new technologies and have contributed to the creation of thousands of jobs.
