The SBTDC, in partnership with First Flight Venture Center (FFVC), is launching the “SBIR/STTR Funding to Launch an Innovation Small Business – Hybrid Road Tour,” a unique opportunity for entrepreneurs across North Carolina.

From December through February, this tour will make stops in six key locations—Fayetteville, Asheville, the Triad, Greenville, Charlotte, and Wilmington. The sessions are designed to equip aspiring small business owners with essential knowledge on SBIR/STTR non-dilutive R&D funding, North Carolina’s matching and incentive programs, and the necessary steps to launch an innovative business. Attendees will also learn about valuable resources offered by FFVC and SBTDC to support their entrepreneurial journey. These half-day, no-cost events provide an invaluable chance to kickstart your innovation-driven business.

During registration you can choose if you’d like to attend in person or virtually.
