Program managers from more than 10 federal agencies will be in the Midwest from Sept. 9 to 16, including in Chicago on Sept. 14, to discuss a government programs that offer more than $2 billion to small technology companies and research institutions.
The programs, which are called Small Business Innovation Research and Small Business Technology Transfer, are intended to fuel American technology growth and development.
Business owners, educators, scientists and others will be able to meet one-on-one with program managers to talk about their technology innovations and how they can compete for federal funding.
The programs are open to companies with fewer than 500 employees that need money to research and develop products that would benefit the federal government and have commercial potential.
