Thank you Business Oregon for your support! We are excited to drive patient safety and outcomes in surgical care through innovative solutions.
Business Oregon and the Oregon Innovation Council (Oregon InC) are thrilled to announce the 14 recipients of the Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR)/Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) Matching Grant awards. The SBIR and STTR grant programs are federal programs designed to stimulate technological innovation and provide opportunities for small businesses to conduct research and development with commercialization potential. However, because the SBIR and STTR funding alone leaves gaps in critical areas for early-stage companies to scale their business, the Matching Grant program is available to complement the federal program and address these critical gaps.
Business Oregon’s Matching Grant program can increase a business’s chances of success by helping companies advance their technologies and better positioning them for future fundraising and growth after the federal grants are complete. The funds can be applied to expenses that help a company stay and grow in Oregon, such as business plan development, facilities, testing equipment, production equipment, intellectual property protection, product marketing, business consulting, and more.
Congrats to the awardees: Biomotum, Birch Biosciences, Center Mom, KeyBiome, Lazarus 3D, LeapFrog Design, Luciole Pharmaceuticals, Narnar, NemaMetrix, Northwest Prevention Science, PDX Pharmaceuticals, QuantiPort, ReWire Neuroscience LLC, and Stark Street Materials.
