The state's science and technology entrepreneurs have an opportunity to meet with leaders of the $2.5 billion Small Business Innovation Research federal funding program when the SBIR Road Tour visits Arkansas on April 19.
The tour is coming to the University of Arkansas at Little Rock to promote the federal SBIR program. SBIR and its sister program, the Small Business Technology Transfer, provide $2.5 billion annually to small companies for state-of-the-art research and product development. In 2015, $7 million of that went to companies in Arkansas.
