The U.S. Small Business Administration seeks nominations for small business innovation and technology awards.
The SBA is honoring small businesses and their role in the nation's economy.
Three awards will be given. One is for companies that have participated in SBA's small business innovation research and small business technology transfer programs. Another award will go to an individual who has advocated on behalf of those two programs. And a third “Hall of Fame” award will recognize companies that have an extended period of success of research, innovation, and product commercialization within the programs.
The Tibbetts Awards are named after Roland Tibbetts, who was instrumental in developing the innovation research program.
Past award winners are a Maine company that created a self-propelled and eco-friendly “AquaPod” for sustainable aqua-culture. A previous Hall of Fame award winner that won numerous SBIR grants – a major west coast chip manufacturer – started with a staff of 35 and has expanded to a global work force of 17,500.
