SBA Innovation Ecosystem Network Call
The SBA Innovation Ecosystem Network Call is hosted monthly by SBA’s Investment and Innovation Ecosystem Development Division. Each call is focused on sharing relevant programming, events, and funding updates relating to lab-to-market, America’s Seed Fund (Small Business Innovation Research and Technology Transfer SBIR/STTR), regional technology and innovation hubs, and more - providing opportunities for entrepreneur support organizations (ESOs) to share challenges and promising practices, and develop new connections amongst ESOs and with the federal innovation ecosystem.
This network is open to new and long-standing organizations– having a formal designation is not required. SBA values building relationships across a wide variety of ESOs to better deliver support to our most innovative small businesses.
