Partners
Partners play a critical role in transitioning advanced technologies from SBIR/STTR funded programs to the commercial market. Partnering with an SBIR/STTR funded small business provides you with immediate access to innovative, advanced technologies that have already been vetted having been through a competitive award process. These are cutting-edge technologies that can help you reach your company’s net-zero and sustainability goals. Many are disruptive looking to enter emerging markets. Joining with an SBIR/STTR awardee provides access to sole-source opportunities as well as small business set asides owing to diverse awardee pools.

PHASE III SUCCESS
Five years after its start, Opus 12 has successfully leveraged DOE SBIR to raise nearly $19M in VC and private sector investment.
IMPACT
Opus 12 technology uses renewable electricity and water to recycle industry CO2 into valuable chemicals. This process could theoretically address one third of global energy-related CO₂ emissions.

FACTS
PHASE III SUCCESS
RMD launched a novel scintillation material, CLYC, in October 2014. CLYC is used in a variety of radiation detection instruments including Spectroscopic Personal Radiation Detection instruments (SPRDs). CLYC crystal/detector sales are currently at more than $1M/year and are expected to increase considerably in the coming years.
IMPACT
With dual neutron and gamma ray detection, CLYC provides a uniquely flexible tool for nuclear event-site first responders and for monitoring unauthorized nuclear materials.

PHASE III SUCCESS
While working on their 3rd SBIR Award, Telescent reported $5M in product sales and $13M in Angel investments, a 5X return on the SBIR investment. Product sales are projected to reach $250M in 4 years.
IMPACT
Using innovative algorithms and special robotic designs, Telescent has introduced a fiber optic cross-connect capable of automating the physical layer of fiber optic connections in data centers, eliminating current inefficiencies linked to manual operations.
