Event description

Are you an innovator preparing a Phase I SBIR application? Don’t let the commercialization plan be an afterthought. Join our essential webinar designed to demystify this critical component and transform it from a requirement into your proposal’s most compelling story. We will provide an actionable roadmap for crafting a winning plan, breaking down the four core components: defining your commercial opportunity, showcasing your company and team, protecting your intellectual property, and outlining your path to market. You’ll leave with practical tips, a clear understanding of what reviewers are looking for, and the confidence to write a plan that demonstrates true market potential and significantly strengthens your entire application.
