WELCOME to the Department of the Navy Forum for SBIR/STTR Transition (FST) website. Now in its nineteenth year, the Forum has been a long-standing venue for connecting SBIR/STTR-funded technologies with warfighters, government acquisition and technical personnel, large primes, system integrators, and other potential partners/collaborators.
We invite you to meet all the companies participating in this year’s Department of the Navy SBIR/STTR Transition Program (STP) and explore their technologies in the Virtual Transition Marketplace. You can also hear from them first-hand during the Forum, April 10-11, 2019, at the Tsongas Center at UMass Lowell on the University of Massachusetts-Lowell campus, just northwest of Boston. Senior Navy leadership challenged us to deliver innovation to warfighters faster by exploring new collaborations with American technology hubs. The Navy SBIR/STTR Program Office is meeting this challenge through an exciting partnership with the University of Massachusetts, Directorate of Economic Development, designed to mobilize a new generation of government, industry, and academic innovators.
