InfoSense began with early support from NSF’s Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) program, which helped us turn research into a practical solution for keeping sewer pipes clog-free. NSF funding played a critical role in helping us move this technology from research into real-world deployment. Our work is one example of how NSF-supported research helps small businesses develop innovative tools that make infrastructure safer, cleaner, and more resilient.
I think this technology is a great example of how new ideas can solve long-standing problems.
