About

Your Strategic Source for Open Innovation

Preview, evaluate and discuss over 190 technologies developed by small businesses funded by the Navy's Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) and Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) programs. Combined with opportunities funded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) and the Office of Research and Technology Applications (ORTA), over 220 technologies will be showcased in the '09 Opportunity Forum®. The largest event of its kind - the Forum is designed to facilitate the rapid assessment of strategic sources for open innovation.

Before attending the Forum, make use of the Virtual Acquisition Showcase® (VAS) to preview quad charts, briefings, and capability brochures prepared as part of the Transition Assistance Program (TAP). Arrange through our registration team to meet with presenting firms at the Forum. Please contact us at (585) 617-6286.

The practice of open innovation is too important to leave to chance. Save valuable time; maximize value; use the Virtual Acquisition Showcase® and the Navy Opportunity Forum® to quickly qualify technologies of interest and to find potential small business partners.
