Women-owned and Minority Owned Firms

Special Note from the Conference Committee

This year we have a committee to increase the amount of women-owned and minority-owned firms attending our conference. This commitment is fueled by our goal to have at least one women-owned or minority-owned firm win a SBIR or STTR contract in every state.

Check our SBIR and STTR statistic to learn more about your states awards and the number of recipients that have received an SBIR or STTR award.
