On April 8, the Environmental Business Cluster (EBC) will provide a program entitled Public Money: How and Where to Get It. An overview of this program is:
The US Government provides billions in grants, loans, tax incentives and more to keep R&D here in the States. The funds are distributed through a variety of agencies such as NSF, ARPA-E, CEC, DOE, DOD, NIST, and SBIR programs; but what can you do to increase your chances of securing government funds and what are some of the strings attached to 'free money'? Join a panel of entrepreneurs and experts who have been successful navigating the public financing process and as well as representatives from government funding agencies that can provide guidance on how to increase your probability for success.
Speakers will include:
- Cisco DeVries - President, Renewable Funding

- Kevin Matthews – Vice President, NSI
- Carlos Torrez – Business Manager, SBIR/STTR Program, NASA
