Upcoming events across the NY SMART I-Corridor

Businesses in Genesee and Wyoming Counties are invited to a free information session to learn how the NY SMART I-Corridor can help them connect to New York’s growing semiconductor industry through supply chain opportunities, business resources, workforce programs, and regional partnerships.

This no-cost event will provide valuable insights into the latest changes shaping the Department of War’s SBIR/STTR programs, including program reauthorization through 2031, FY2026 solicitation updates and funding opportunities, the new Phase II “Strategic Breakthrough” funding vehicle with up to $30M available, enhanced security and due diligence requirements, upcoming proposal submission limits beginning in FY2027, and best practices for partnering with large prime contractors.

A two-day event bringing together leaders to strengthen New York’s semiconductor supply chain, workforce, and innovation.
