Air Force / Industry Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR)/Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) Commercialization Readiness Program (CRP) Technology Interchange Meetings

MEETINGS : The Air Force will work with major defense contractors to host a series of technology interchange meetings between February and November 2019 at major contractor facilities. As with similar prior meetings, the Air Force transition support program will provide each major contractor hosting a meeting with a data mining search capability to identify small businesses with Phase II SBIR/STTR projects of potential interest as solutions to the major contractor technology-based needs. In similar fashion to other Air Force CRP meetings, facilitation of one-on-one sessions between small businesses and the host major contractor will occur. The AF team will help facilitate these one-on-one sessions. Major contractors with interest in participating in this activity must contact the listed POC below by email to express their company's desire to participate.

FOLLOW UP: Once all responses have been compiled, the AF SBIR/STTR CRP outreach team will respond with how to proceed.
