Technology Access

The SBIR Assistance Center at Missouri University of Science and Technology provides services to individuals designed to help companies understand the Small Business Innovation Research program and improve their competitiveness to secure federal research and development funds.  Our business counselors help clients choose appropriate federal agencies and their solicitations, assist in preparation and review proposals, offer partnership opportunities, and continue efforts to commercialize technology.

 Business Counseling

The MO SBTDC offer comprehensive and individualized business management counseling to meet your particular needs. Our counselors are skilled professionals with experience in many areas, including marketing and sales, accounting, financial analysis and cost control, personnel, inventory control, business start-up or acquisition and business liquidation or sale. All information you provide us about your company is held in complete confidence at all times.

Procurement Technical Assistance

 Dealing with regulations and red tape can be frustrating. In fact, those obstacles often keep highly qualified suppliers from selling to the government. The Missouri Procurement Technical Assistance Centers (MO PTAC) assist businesses — including small, disadvantaged and women-owned firms — in obtaining federal, state and local government contracts.  The procurement specialists will help you in identifying opportunities and understanding the government contracting process so you can take advantage of government sales dollars
