NASA SBIR/STTR Commercialization Workshop

• Learn about Small Business Innovation
• Engage with NASA Missions Directors and Program Managers
• Network with Leaders in the Space and Aeronautics Industries

The Ohio Aerospace Institute (OAI) will be conducting a NASA SBIR/STTR Commercialization Workshop on September 16-17 at OAI in Cleveland, Ohio. OAI is collaborating closely with NASA Glenn Research Center to develop the program content.

The goal of the NASA SBIR/STTR Commercialization Workshop is to ensure commercialization and mission infusion of NASA-funded technologies. The Workshop will allow small businesses to share their technologies and experiences with interested industry members, NASA mission directors and program managers, and other small businesses. The event will also include presentations from prime contractors to discuss how small businesses can utilize this program to partner with them. OAI hopes the event will help forge new technology partnerships and facilitate infusion of SBIR/STTR technologies to support future NASA missions.

We anticipate that more than 40 SBIR/STTR companies will be presenting, with many more attending. Numerous NASA representatives from various NASA centers will also be attending. Confirmed NASA speakers include:
