Texas SBDC Network · Texas, USA
Grant Applications closed

Texas has no state SBIR/STTR matching programme. A bill proposing one (SB 209) exists but has not created a programme, and the page this entry pointed to returns 404. Checked 7 October 2026. The same organisation does run the Texas FAST Partnership Program, which is a different programme.

State-run accelerator helping Texas research-driven startups secure non-dilutive federal SBIR/STTR funding, plus access to the state's FAST Partnership matching program.
