TekMark Growth Partners Identifies Potential SBIR Funding Sources to Accelerate SBIR Technology Commercialization for En’Urga’s Jet Engine Emission Tomography System

TekMark Growth Partners Ltd. provided SBIR technology commercialization support services to identify potential funding sources for En’Urga’s emission tomography technology.  TekMark identified leading DoD and NASA agency researchers, conducted a pro-active outreach and information campaign, and engaged with agency decision makers to uncover potential funding sources and accelerate technology commercialization.

West Lafayette, IN, USA – October 9, 2017 – TekMark Growth Partners, Ltd., a leading SBIR technology commercialization, marketing and strategic management consulting firm provided En’Urga with SBIR support services to obtain agency funding to further develop their emission tomography system that checks the health of jet engines.  TekMark, through its long history of working in and relationships with the SBIR/STTR community, was able to quickly; identify research groups involved in jet engine health monitoring; establish contact with many agency technical points of contact (TPOCs) and testbed researchers; and uncover interest for En’Urga’s emission tomography system.

Dr. Yudaya Sivathanu, En’Urga’s President added “we needed to identify potential funding sources very quickly before the closing of a solicitation.  TekMark’s technical background, knowledge of various agency research/testing groups, and deep experience working in the SBIR community enabled them to quickly establish contact with key agency researchers, confirm interest from multiple groups at the ONR, the Air Force and NASA Langley and opened up additional opportunities for us to develop our technology.”

Identifying interest across multiple agencies and research groups within an agency and developing relationships with key researchers in your area(s) of discipline is a critical activity that should be done on an ongoing basis to increase your chances for getting your technology funded.  But with many SBIR firms, resources are limited, and not enough time is allocated on an on-going basis to this critical but time consuming process.

By partnering with TekMark, En’Urga was able to generate interest from several agency research/testing groups in less than two months which is optimal as this is within the time span from most Broad Agency Announcements pre-release to closing.  By partnering with TekMark, En’Urga was able to quickly leverage their existing technology development with new additional funding sources to further accelerate their SBIR technology commercialization.
