Market Research Studies
As part of our Phase 0 program, the DOE Program Offices participating in SBIR/STTR have commissioned various market research studies related to SBIR/STTR topic areas. These are publicly available to facilitate commercialization planning for SBIR/STTR applicants and awardees.
In addition to the below SBIR/STTR funded market research reports, the DOE Liftoff Reports provide a view of the current state, pathways to commercialization and challenges to liftoff for specific DOE technologies.
