Proudly Presents
Securing Grants & Tapping into
Stimulus Bill
A
Special Workshop for LifeScience &
Cleantech Entrepreneurs
Sep 15, 2009
, 9AM - 12 Noon
The Citizen Hotel, Sacramento, CA
TechCoire and Morrison Foerster is
proud to partner together to present this hands-on
workshop on securing grants and tapping into the
stimulus bill for your cleantech business.
Applying for and receiving grants from the
federal government is neither a quick or easy process.
However, they are one of the most important sources of
funds for the development of high risk high reward
technology. This seminar will go through structuring
your company mindset for the federal grant writing
process, discussion of some specific federal programs,
and review the nuts and bolts of submitting a grant
application. Following that, there’ll be specific
discussion on the size and scope of the economic
stimulus package as it related to clean technology
companies and some specific industry sectors that will
be benefiting from funds that are being made available.
If you are seeking grants for your life science or
clean-tech businesses, you cannot afford to ignore this
event. Visit

this limited seating workshop.
Registration : Non-Members - $150, Members : $75
