What We Do

As a partner of the US Department of Defense, SpringBoard's purposes at national, statewide, regional and local levels are to:

  • Develop partnerships that result in transfer, commercialization and transition of technologies developed by DoD laboratories and private industry; and
  • Support and facilitate K-16 educational programs in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM).
  • Help existing companies identify and screen appropriate Department of Defense technologies which can be licensed and commercialized.
  • Identify new technologies in the private sector which can be utilized by DoD at the national and international levels and help to get these into DoD operational use.
  • Facilitate joint projects between DoD and private companies, as well as between agencies and academic institutions - to further commercialize Dept. of Defense technologies.
  • Assist entrepreneurs in the start-up of new companies and the commercialization of DoD technologies by providing intensive business assistance.
  • Provide teachers with the support and tools they need to effectively and engagingly teach math and the sciences in K-12 classes.

New businesses grow and diversify the economy. We believe that the potential for many enterprises to develop productive business relationships with the Department of Defenses is significant and largely untapped.
