Three Madison businesses will receive an SBIR Advance grant, the Center for Technology Commercialization and the Wisconsin Economic Development Corporation announced recently.

Immuto Scientific, Steam Instruments and Neurosetta join two other Wisconsin companies in receiving up to $100,000 in matching grants.

“This program continues to help technology companies perform the business and commercialization activities that are required to be commercially successful,” Program Manager Todd Strother said in a statement. “Their federal SBIR grants fund the technical work, whereas our program facilitates their activities toward actual commercialization and making money from their inventions for the betterment of the Wisconsin economy.”

As previously reported, SBIR Advance provides matching grants to companies in the process of completing a project in the federal Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) or Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) programs.
