Non-Dilutive Government Funding for Novel Product R&D

Guest Speaker: Pat Dillon CDR, USN (Ret), MBA - MNSBIR, Inc. Founder and President

This session is tailored for startups and small businesses poised to embark on transformative research and development to commercialize a novel product or service that solves an unmet market need. This opportunity is designed for entities with fewer than 500 employees, possessing the resources and vision to pioneer early-stage product-oriented R&D initiatives aimed at eventual commercialization for significant social and economic impact.

Our focus extends beyond mere innovation; we seek forward-thinking organizations eager to collaborate with academic and/or medical institutions, federal laboratories, large corporations, and other stakeholders to enrich their R&D pathways. If you're open to becoming a government grantee or contractor, this session is tailored to meet your needs.

With a staggering $4 billion investment across 11 federal agencies, the potential for collaboration and innovation is immense. Our objective is to assist in de-risking technologies for future commercialization—recognizing that this journey often requires external capital to bring solutions to market.

Are you ready to learn more about your Small Business Pathway to Future Commercialization?

Join us as we explore avenues for leveraging non-dilutive government funding to drive early-stage product R&D, with an eye toward creating lasting social and economic impact.
