SBIR awardees benefit from SBTDC's MBA intern program
The SBTDC is the liaison between early-stage, RTP-based tech firms and MBA programs, including the Kenan-Flagler School of Business at UNC-Chapel Hill, the Babcock Graduate School of Management at Wake Forest University, and the Fuqua School of Business at Duke University.
Each summer, second-year MBA students are matched with high potential, small tech firms that have a clearly defined, short-term business project. Interns work with one or two firms during the ten-week program. Since its inception, dozens of firms have leveraged thousands of hours of assistance through the SBTDC's MBA intern program.
