Central Florida Tech Grove 2024 SBIR/STTR Partnership Day
Tuesday, June 11th, 2024
8:00 am-4:30 pm EDT (In person)
Join us for the 2024 SBIR/STTR Partnership Day to expand your network, learn more about SBIR/STTR funding, and stay at the forefront of cutting-edge technology advancements. You will have the opportunity to connect with SBIR/STTR Awardees who are showcasing their latest technology innovations.
We will be showcasing 14 companies that have received Phase 2 and/or 3 SBIR or STTR awards from the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps, or Defense Health Agency. All of them are seeking customers, collaborators, capital, and connections. That just might be YOU!
If you are with the government, you will meet companies with innovative solutions who are already pre-qualified for sole-source contracts.
If you are a small business, you will meet companies who can provide insights into how to successfully compete in the programs. If you want to learn more about the SBIR and STTR Program, visit www.sbir.gov. And check out the issues of our newsletter under "News" on our website.
Register today to join us.

The Nation’s Modeling, Simulation, and Training Innovation Center
The United States Department of Defense (DOD) depends on non-traditional training solutions built with cutting-edge technologies created by innovators like you. However, getting your novel solution to market — and to the DOD for military readiness training — is challenging.
That’s where Central Florida Tech Grove comes in.
INNOVATION, COLLABORATION, AND ACCELERATION
At Tech Grove, we facilitate modeling, simulation, and training (MS&T) advances with:
Innovation
We offer resources to inspire you, connecting you to the people and organizations at the forefront of the defense modeling and simulation industry.
Collaboration
We help you discover collaboration opportunities with Army, Air Force, Navy, Marine, and Space Force modeling, simulation, and training organizations.
Acceleration
We assist you with business development assistance and federal funding to get your innovation to market in the hands that need it.
Our Mission for Enhancing DOD Human Performance
Grow the Defense Industry Base
We collaborate with industry, academia, small business, and government from across the nation to expand the defense industry base. We offer an expansive calendar of events, education and support, and referrals to ecosystem support organizations ranging from industry associations to competitive research as well as development programs.
Facilitate MS&T Technology Transfers
We facilitate technology transfers between small businesses, universities, and government labs. We conduct joint activities, spinning out federally developed technology to support innovation and spinning in solutions from industry and academia to solve complex government human performance challenges.
Solve Complex Military Training Challenges
We facilitate the innovation of enhanced human performance training solutions to apply to the gaps and problems shared by our military customers. Through prize challenges, tech scans, game jams, and other initiatives, industry, government, and academia work together to create and accelerate solutions.
Unique Ways To Solve Military Human Performance Problems
LVC-STE Adoption
Expanding the adoption of Live, Virtual, Constructive (LVC) and Military Synthetic Training Environment (STE) tools and solutions.
Artificial Intelligence
Uncovering and adapting Artificial Intelligence (AI) to unlock human-machine interaction in AI military training.
XR Technology
Improving human performance using advanced extended reality for training (XRT) technology, 5G networking, and integration.
