The Indiana 21st Century Research and Technology Fund

The Indiana 21st Century Research and Technology Fund was created in 1999 by the General Assembly to stimulate the process of diversifying the State's economy by developing and commercializing advanced technologies in Indiana. The Fund is now an integral element of the Indiana Economic Development Corporation's Small Business and Entrepreneurship Division.

About SBIR/STTR

After more than two decades of existence, the SBIR Program has established itself as one of the most effective technology programs in the federal government. SBIR/STTR programs are highly competitive and encourage small businesses to explore their technological potential. SBIR/STTR funding is available from 11 participating agencies throughout the United States and focus on various technological areas.

The 21st Century Fund oversees that mission—to help Indiana businesses compete for and win federal funding. Additionally, the IEDC SBIR Initiative is committed to assisting Indiana businesses in the commercialization of their prototypes and understands the impact that these companies can have on the economy. This, coupled with the matching program of the 21st Century fund, will provide Indiana companies with the fuel needed to excel in the SBIR/STTR programs.

The IEDC SBIR Initiative has structured several significant services to assist with the expansion of high technology business in Indiana. Indiana is committed to working with you to help your company expand and flourish.
