Accelerating Innovation to Market.
MNSBIR’s Commercialization Institute empowers businesses to bridge the funding gap, securing Phase III sole-source contracts to successfully commercialize their products or services.
The Commercialization Institute helps small businesses transition from SBIR/STTR Phase II and Phase IIB funding to full commercialization by providing targeted education and coaching from experienced consultants. Many firms face a “Valley of Death” between R&D funding and market entry. Our institute bridges that gap by equipping businesses with the tools and connection they need to secure Phase III funding and bring innovations to market.
