SAN ANTONIO, TEXAS, USA, March 5, 2024 — Forward Edge-AI, a leading Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) consortium leader, today announced the launch of its SBIR Knowledge Academy™. The aim of the Academy is to empower startups and government acquisition professionals alike with the knowledge and templates they need to accelerate the transition of SBIR/STTR technologies from lab-to-market.
The Academy is AI-infused and trained on over three decades of SBIR information.
