Create Winning SBIRs Through Partnerships with EWI

The small business innovation research (SBIR) program is a multi-billion dollar grant project that is administered by the United States Small Business Administration Office of Technology. Each year, dedicated funding from various research institutes from the Department of Commerce, Department of Defense, Department of Health & Human Services and others, are awarded to technology driven small businesses across the United States.  The SBIR grants are intended to encourage competitive research amongst America's small businesses and to foster "home-grown" innovation. Small businesses with compelling and innovative ideas have the potential of receiving grants in three different phases. Funding from each phase of the SBIR project is designed to help the small business develop its technology and eventually bring its novel ideas to maturity through commercialization of the final product.

East-West Innovation (EWI) is involved in the Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) program and is seeking new strategic partners to collaborate on upcoming SBIR phase I, phase II or phase III funding efforts. Please contact East-West Innovation if

• You are seeking expertise in analog circuit design or hardware development to enhance your existing SBIR technology; or
• You desire a strategic technology partnership for upcoming SBIR opportunities.

We can delve into detailed discussions and strategies on the co-development efforts leading to a successful SBIR joint venture. We are open to all technology development needs from any of the 11 major SBIR federal agencies.
