The Arizona Commerce Authority has partnered with the Small Business Administration to facilitate the Federal and State Technology (FAST) Partnership Program. Arizona’s FAST program supports entrepreneurs and startups through programs that advance innovative, technology-driven small businesses.
Each round awards six entrepreneurs up to $3,000 each, providing the funds, resources, training, and network opportunities to succeed in their Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) proposal. The program gives startups more competitive bids for federally funded innovation, research, and development programs.
