On October 10, 2017, Dr. Konstantin Izvolsky, Director of Consulting and Training, and Norton Kaplan, President & COO met with the NOAA SBIR Program Manager and SBIR Commercialization Coordinator to initiate the support of the Phase 2 program for this new contract. As described by NOAA, “The mission of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration is “science, service and stewardship from the surface of the sun to the depths of the ocean.” Foresight will draw upon its 38 years of experience to tailor a 2-year support program for the Phase 2 Awardees that will emphasize the commercialization and market entry of their technologies, products and solutions. Consultative support will be provided that not only strategically guides the participants but also imparts knowledge and awareness of the commercialization process. With the continuing evidence of the economic impact that small businesses have on the economy, the NOAA SBIR program is focused on its modest but important contribution.
