Enabled by the New Mexico Legislature

In 2000, the New Mexico Legislature created the Laboratory Partnership with Small Business Tax Credit Act for the purpose of "bringing the technology and expertise of the national laboratories to small businesses in New Mexico to promote economic development in the state, with an emphasis on rural areas." As a result, Sandia National Laboratories established the New Mexico Small Business Assistance Program to provide technical support to small businesses throughout the state. Los Alamos National Laboratory began participating in NMSBA in 2007. Jointly, the labs are committed to solving small businesses’ critical challenges with national laboratory expertise and resources; influencing New Mexico business development by building capacity, capabilities, and competencies; and acting as an advocate for small businesses through an entrepreneurial culture.
