SBIR Road Tour 2018
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. We would like to thank the University of Idaho for Co-Sponsoring the Moscow and Sandpoint Tour Stops, as well as coordinating the venue and providing the catering. We would also like to recognize the Moscow Chamber of Commerce and Moscow’s Partnership for Economic Development for helping us prepare and present an excellent event. 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 Moscow event will be the fourth stop on the 2018 tour, which also features events in Fort Hall, Challis, Sandpoint, Boise, Nampa, Rexburg and Ketchum. If you’re an innovator, tech entrepreneur, researcher or small technology firm, don’t miss this opportunity to learn how to access $2.5B in early stage technology funding through the SBIR and STTR programs and nearly $1M in commercialization grants to Idaho companies through the Idaho Global Entrepreneurial Mission (IGEM).
