The SBIR Program
The US Federal Government is offering US-based Small Businesses an average overall grant of $1.25 million for NSF and almost $2 million for NIH applicants as seed capital for early stage R&D activities. It does it through the Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) program, a dedicated grant scheme which aims at financing R&D of cutting-edge technologies to develop commercially viable innovations. SBIR funds will help you bring your experimental proof of concept to full commercialization at the global scale.
Selected Federal Agencies
Among the different several governmental agencies participating to the SBIR Federal Program, we specialize in

due to their higher prestige and brand awareness, higher budget available and flexibility of the application type.
