Event Highlights

The NCI SBIR Investor Forum was an exclusive opportunity for 14 NCI funded companies in the diagnostic, therapeutic and devices sector to showcase their technology and have one-on-one sessions with investors and strategic partners. Each of the 14 companies was carefully chosen by an independent panel of experts, selected for strength of research, impact on cancer, product development and market potential. The event was beneficial to both small businesses.

• Small business presented and networked with over 150 investors and potential strategic partners.
• Investors evaluated NCI’s top companies with innovative technologies and engaged in exclusive one-on-one meetings.

Over 150 leading investors and top pharmaceutical and medical device companies attended the event. View a full list of attending organizations.

Feedback from attendees was overwhelmingly positive, with an overwhelming majority (84%) of attendees stating that they made important business contacts. Over 90% of the presenting companies met their goal of connecting with investors as well as NCI staff.
