Welcome to the FLC Small Business Resource
Federal laboratories are charged with leveraging the public investment in research via technology
transfer -- by making the results of that investment available to the private sector. Our labs
have a wealth of unique technologies, facilities, expertise and other resources available for
transfer – and are actively working to find collaborating opportunities with industry partners.
Our goal is to make this process as clear and easy for your small business to navigate as
possible – putting everything you need to know at your fingertips. We want to guide you to the
kind of help you need to get your business off the ground, help you expand, or fill that technical
need in your existing product line.
