Presented by the Contracting Learning Center, this Small Business Series session explores the Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) and Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) programs with a focused look at technology transition—moving innovative concepts from research into operational and contracting pathways.
A key element of this discussion will address the recent SBIR/STTR reauthorization, highlighting new or updated statutory and policy requirements and what they mean for acquisition professionals, contracting teams, and small business participants.
Attendees will gain insight into how SBIR/STTR efforts support early‑stage innovation, enable transition to programs of record, and create contracting opportunities that strengthen the defense industrial base.
