Administrator Isabel Casillas Guzman, head of the U.S.SBA, has launched America's Seed Fund Week, a virtual three-day event series from Jan. 23-25. The event, which will follow America's Seed Fund Road Tour, will travel to 16 states and territories later in the year. The events connect innovators and entrepreneurs working on advanced technology to the country's largest source of early-stage technology funding opportunities, America's Seed Fund. Fostering innovation and increasing the nation's global competitiveness while promoting small business growth are crucial pillars of the Biden-Harris Administration's Investing in America agenda. Administrator Guzman emphasizes the importance of ingenuity in developing critical technologies and creating future industries. The 2024 America's Seed Fund Week is free and open to the public, while the Road Tour aims to convey technology funding opportunities through the America's Seed Fund, SBIR, and STTR programs.
