Busch Award Winners
The WSSI Busch Award, named for Dr. Chris Busch who was noted for emphasizing, "without the successful commercialization of the innovation, the grant project cannot be deemed successful." Therefore, the Busch Award recognizes those SBIR/STTR grantees who have taken their grant project through the commercialization process and into the marketplace.
