SBA Announces Tibbetts Award Winners
The U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) has announced this year's Tibbetts Award winners. The 68 winners represent individuals and organizations that were judged to be models of excellence in technology through participation in or support for the SBIR program.
The companies and individuals were selected based on the economic impact of their technological innovation and their overall business achievements. All 50 states and the District of Columbia had at least one award winner.
The awards, named for Roland Tibbetts who was instrumental in the creation of the SBIR program, were established last year when 67 individuals and companies were recognized. This year's awards will be presented at an October 16 ceremony in Washington, D.C.
