Small Business Innovation Research Seminar June 13

On Friday, June 13, the Pittsburgh Technology Council will host "SBIR: Commercializing Your Product" with the U.S. Department of Defense at the Regional Learning Alliance, 850 Cranberry Woods Drive, in Cranberry Township, Pa.

This workshop will feature an address by Congressman Jason Altmire, a supporter of the Small Business Innovation Research Program (SBIR). The program encourages small businesses and entrepreneurs to maximize their technological potential by funding the critical startup and development stages of research and development. The program also offers small businesses the option to explore opportunities in high-tech innovation.

The workshop has a heavy focus on Department of Defense SBIR grants. Program managers from various defense agencies will be on hand to answer specific questions about their next round of solicitations.
