Description
The Wyoming Business Council’s SBIR Matching Grant Program supports Wyoming companies that have received Phase I or Phase II federal funding through the Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) or Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) programs. It complements federal awards for businesses advancing groundbreaking technologies and working to commercialize their research.
The program connects technology development and research commercialization with the Council’s goal of catalyzing innovation and business growth within Wyoming. Its intended impact extends beyond individual companies: the program seeks a lasting positive effect on the state’s economy through the growth of innovative businesses. Applicants must already hold an active federal award and commit to seeking additional funding beyond SBIR/STTR.
