New TABA Service Available from Foresight

Foresight Science & Technology (Foresight), in collaboration with their consulting partners, has developed a dynamic matchmaking service to rapidly scale SBIR/STTR companies’ research and commercialization. To help alleviate time, funding, and resources that SBIR companies may not have, Foresight can be the bridge between SBIR companies and federal laboratories. Under the SBIR Technical and Business Assistance (TABA) program, SBIR companies can work with Foresight as a vendor to accomplish their commercialization objectives. With this TABA service Foresight will provide guidance to the company along the way, identifying resources and facilities, and assisting with any agreements that may be necessary to collaborate with the laboratory. This service is designed to rapidly scale SBIR research and commercialization by tapping into the vast range of resources available within federal research enterprises.

Why choose Foresight?

Foresight has a long history of both SBIR commercialization success and federal technology transfer partnerships. Existing relationships with numerous federal laboratories allow Foresight consultants to quickly identify the right partner for their SBIR clients and can effectively build new networks between the private sector and federal government that have been previously overlooked.

FLC Virtual Meeting- Successful and Engaging in Remote Era

Posted April 13, 2021 By: Reda El Alami

On April 6 – 8, 2021 Foresight Science & Technology attended the 2021 Federal Laboratory Consortium (FLC) National Meeting which was held in a virtual format. In an increasingly connected, yet remote era the virtual conference was a pleasant and refreshing take on bringing minds together to learn interesting material from industry experts in an inviting format.

The three-day event consisted of several concurring sessions covering topics from ‘T2 for beginners’ to ‘Investment crowdfunding as a tool for T2 initiatives’ and aside from the occasional glitch, the event was well put together and the sessions were properly paced with ample time to answer key questions at the end from attendees.

Hearing from industry leaders and learning trends in specific regions of the country and various labs really made the content interesting as I was not aware that Iowa was seeking to diversify its investments from agriculture to high tech/fin tech; or that North Dakota was becoming a hub for tech funding. Hearing from investors that life science investments are on the rise due to the high risk and extremely high reward on the exit and learning that there is a finite market for tech buyers (ex: phones/computers) but everyone is at one time or another a buyer/user of life science technologies excites investors and compels them to consider riskier investments.

All things considered, the three-day virtual conference was very well done and I would gladly attend any other FLC virtual events in the future.
