The America’s Seed Fund Summit is a pivotal event designed to connect entrepreneurs, innovators, and researchers with the Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) and Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) programs. These programs represent the largest source of early-stage, non-dilutive funding available for high-growth technology startups in the nation. Throughout July 2026, attendees can participate in a series of free virtual sessions every Wednesday from 3-4 PM ET, covering essential topics such as SBIR fundamentals, protecting innovations, and resources for commercialization. Each session aims to equip participants with the knowledge and tools necessary to navigate the funding landscape effectively. Additionally, the Summit will feature networking opportunities through various virtual and in-person events hosted by Federal and State Technology (FAST) Partnership sites and federal SBIR/STTR agencies. This is an excellent opportunity for those looking to enhance their understanding of funding options and connect with key stakeholders in the innovation ecosystem.
