According to SBIR.gov, “with over 40% of the SBIR/STTR budget going to the Department of Defense, it is important to understand the role large Defense prime contractors play and how small businesses can develop relationships with these lead systems integrators, also known as LSI.”
SBIR/STTR leads within the major defense primes discuss how they work with small companies and universities and how your organization can best engage with them.
