CITE SERVICES

​

Accelerate the creation of small business innovations

CITE SERVICES

In support of the CITY LAB’s primary purpose, CITE Services will provide advisory services in an effort to assist in the commercialization of private, academic, and federally funded R&D to bridge the gap that spans the “valley of death” for large and small businesses. CITE Services is ideally suited to assist the Technology and Research Accelerating National Security and Future Economic Resiliency Act of 2013, which recommends the inclusion of business advisory services early in the R&D process.

In addition, CITE Services is designed to accelerate the creation of small businesses and commercialization of research innovations made to carry out innovative approaches to technology transfer grant programs for higher education, nonprofit research institutions and federal laboratories.
