The Evolution of SBIR: From Confronting Japan to Competing with China
The Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) program, launched in 1982, has fueled U.S. innovation by funding high-risk, high-reward ventures and launching companies like Qualcomm and iRobot. As Congress considers reauthorization in 2025, the U.S. faces a new challenge: China’s dominance in critical technologies. The proposed INNOVATE Act introduces reforms to expand funding access, tighten security, and curb “SBIR mills,” but risks excluding breakthrough startups. FedTech recommends pairing these reforms with greater funding, streamlined processes, and expanded support programs to ensure SBIR remains a vital engine of U.S. technological leadership and national security.
