DOD SBIR Workshop - You Are Invited
9:00 AM-2:00 PM
With $1.7B, DOD has the largest portion of the $3.7B SBIR/STTR Program. Wisconsin businesses received ONLY 6 awards, out of the 1824 awarded nationally in 2019.  With Biomedical, Engineering, AI, Manufacturing (and more) topics available, Wisconsin businesses are missing out on a HUGE source of funding and potentially, a customer. 

Join us for a day of learning, presented by Jerry Hollister, DOD guru and Principal Consultant at BBCetc.  30 years of leadership experience in government, higher education, non-profit and for-profit enterprises has given Jerry a unique perspective on working with DOD and other funding agencies!
