Meeting Room 201

Mr. Dylan Doty

Federal innovation programs such as SBIR and STTR provide billions in non-dilutive funding each year to small businesses to support research and development. For companies, these programs can accelerate validation, customer engagement, and commercialization. This session will provide a brief overview of The Nucleus Institute and Utah’s innovation ecosystem, along with updates on SBIR/STTR and other key federal funding opportunities. Attendees will gain insight into how to evaluate agency fit, structure a competitive strategy, and position their technology for long-term transition and growth. The discussion will conclude with an open Q&A focused on practical guidance for companies ready to move from idea to award.
