Does your technology-based business have a technical challenge, but lack the necessary resources or expertise to find a clear path forward? Could your business use technical assistance from knowledgeable engineers and scientists?

If so, Pacific Northwest National Laboratory’s (PNNL) Technology Assistance Program (TAP) may be just what you’re looking for.

The U.S. Department of Energy sponsors the TAP program at PNNL to help grow and diversify the nation’s economy. The Program helps technology-based companies improve their competitiveness by providing free assistance or information to help businesses with specific technology questions or needs.

Get up to a week of free technical help each year from experts at PNNL. Examples of assistance include: advising on existing or emerging products, providing advanced technology for hardware and software applications, improving production and manufacturing processes, resolving technical problems, and many others.

Small businesses that use PNNL’s free Technology Assistance Program are eligible to receive a royalty-free license for technology developed through the program.
