grant support

There is an enormous amount of funding available to assist the development of new technology, and we can help you get some of it. Research contracts and grants from private foundations and government agencies are worth billions. The US Federal SBIR program alone is made up of 11 Federal agencies giving over $1.6 billion per year in chunks of up to around $1,000,000 just for small businesses to develop ideas that the government can use (see www.zyn.com). There is more support than ever for energy efficiency and sustainable energy solutions, humanitarian technologies, and more recently a number of prizes & competitions such as the Ansari X-Prize that have shown to be an effective ways of stimulating beneficial technology.
