SUPPORTING ALL WASHINGTON STATE TECHNOLOGY ENTREPRENEURS
What is ARC WA?
Accelerating Research and Commercialization in Washington State (ARC WA) is funded by the SBA FAST Partnership Program. The Federal and State Technology (FAST) Partnership Program provides funding to organizations to execute state/regional programs that increase the number of SBIR/STTR proposals leading to an increase in the number of SBIR/STTR awards from women, socially/economically disadvantaged individuals, and small businesses in underrepresented areas - typically rural states.
