SBIR active over more than a decade,Sivananthan Laboratories is a high tech business incubator fostering cutting-edge, fundamental research and development. The firm's corporate model has been Bell Laboratories whose many fundamental research contributions helped drive US leadership in technology and manufacturing. It could be argued that the demise of major industrial laboratories such as Bell Labs has left a large gap in domestic technology development: a threat to US economic growth. The effort at Sivananthan is to help bridge this gap by creating/assisting small businesses in nurturing their ability to research new technologies, create jobs, and generate innovative products and services. Effectively, Sivananthan Laboratories cherishes an ecosystem of scientific collaboration among academia, industry, and government while working with external partners to commercialize successful research.
