SBIR Road Tour 2018 Rexburg
The Idaho Small Business Development Center, in conjunction with Idaho National Laboratory and the Idaho Department of Commerce, will bring the story of non-dilutive funding opportunities across Idaho as part of the 2018 Idaho SBIR Road Tour. Building upon the success last year's inaugural Idaho SBIR Road, this year's event will feature subject experts, special speakers, 1-on-1 coaching and local guests. The Rexburg event will be the fifth stop on the 2018 tour, which also features events in Fort Hall, Challis, Sandpoint, Moscow, Boise, Nampa and Ketchum.
