| Jan 25 - 27, 2010 | 10th Annual STTR/SBIR Small Business Conference | Huntsville, AL | | The agenda will include presentations by individuals who are managers for
the SBA, Small & Disadvantaged Business Utilization Specialists, Small
Business and HBCU/MI Program Managers, and HBCU/MI programs at DARPA, DoD,
ONR /NRL, ARL/ARO, as well as invited program managers from EPA, NASA, NSF
and DoE. Many universities, industries, and government agencies, within
200 miles of Huntsville, have already agreed to participate and we expect
a large attendance by HBCUs/MIs as well as other Universities. The
attendees will be discussing their interests, facilities, equipment, and
capabilities so that government agencies and potential small business team
members are aware of these opportunities for partnering. There will be
computers and printers available with generic nondisclosure agreements and
teaming agreements for participants to use to accommodate their on-site
partnership formation. During our ninth year workshop (2009), we had over
210 attendees, over 50 small businesses and over 10 large companies
attending (four sponsors) this workshop.
This meeting will foster networking among government executives, large
business executives, small business executives, and university
investigators to learn about possible funding and teaming opportunities.
