Alaska SBIR/STTR Grant Program

Fueling Alaska's entrepreneurial fire, the Alaska SBIR/STTR Grant Program emerges as a beacon of support for small businesses poised to revolutionize industries with their groundbreaking technologies. This state-funded initiative empowers Alaskan companies that have secured federal Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) or Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) grants to propel their advancements to the forefront of commercialization. By bridging the gap between federal funding and commercial viability, the Alaska SBIR/STTR Grant Program injects a surge of resources into the hands of Alaska's most promising innovators. Eligible businesses, characterized as Alaskan-based for-profit entities holding active federal SBIR or STTR awards, gain access to substantial grant funding of up to $50,000 per project. This financial boost empowers them to amplify their research and development efforts, procure essential materials and supplies, embark on knowledge-seeking ventures, and acquire cutting-edge equipment, all while propelling their transformative technologies towards commercial success. The Alaska SBIR/STTR Grant Program extends its reach beyond financial support, fostering a collaborative ecosystem where innovation thrives. Grantees immerse themselves in a network of fellow Alaskan pioneers and potential partners, exchanging ideas, forging synergies, and collectively propelling the state's technological landscape to new heights. This spirit of collaboration cultivates fertile ground for groundbreaking advancements to flourish, positioning Alaska as a hub for transformative innovation.
