Government
Foster innovation that meets the public’s needs for years to come.
We recognize that government research not only serves to support the immediate needs of the public through each agency’s primary focus, but it also lays the foundation for subsequent commercial activity that builds upon that foundational work. At GPS, we provide cost-effective support for agencies’ achievement of their research and commercialization goals. Whether supporting the Agency’s own operational activities or supporting their SBIR/STTR participants, GPS involvement ensures the innovation process is optimized.
