Partnering & Investment Opportunities
It takes a lot of money to get a product to the market. That's why NIH helps connect awardees to investors and corporate partners.
Awardees can request registration support for investor and partnering events. Your company, stage of development, and fundraising or partnering goals will be evaluated for fit with upcoming events, and you may be offered an NIH-paid registration. All companies in this program are offered assistance to prepare for these events, either individually or in cohorts.
See our Partnering & Investment FAQs for more information about these opportunities.
