Are there charges for APEX services?

As a Partnership Intermediary Agreement (PIA) organization, APEX’s funding comes from the U.S. Air Force. Therefore, all of APEX’s services are free-of-charge to entrepreneurs, researchers and research universities, including: U.S. Air Force SBIR / STTR process navigation; mapping technologies that can be commercialized to fit the needs of the U.S. Air Force; and connecting universities, companies and government organizations with the U.S. Air Force to support bridging the recognizable gap between these organizations and to help build manufacturing ecosystems across the U.S.
