Although over 17\,000 companies claim this credit nati onwide\, 100 large multinationals receive over half of the 7+ billion do llars in savings each year. Find out what your company can do to receive the same level of benefit the Fortune 100 have been receiving for years . \;\n \;\nMany medical device\, software\, and biotech companie s eligible to benefit handsomely from this credit have never applied for it\, or are only receiving a small fraction of what they are eligible f or. R&\;D credits reimburse the costs associated with a company’s bre akthroughs\, as well as the day-to-day activities that bring improvement s in products\, software\, processes\, profits\, and productivity. The r esearch and development credit was enacted to encourage innovation\, and applies to activities throughout an organization – from conceptualizati on\, prototyping and production\, through testing and the planning of qu ality control. \;\n \;\nSpecific coverage will include: \;\n 3\;\nIdentifying qualifying activities throughout your company. \;\n& #13\;\nEarly stage companies - why it is never too early to claim the cr edit. \;\n \;\nHow to effectively lower the cost of process impro vement\, product testing\, patent applications\, and other activities no t commonly considered as R&\;D. \;\n \;\nCredits for contract manufacturing – the companies who design devices and create software are n’t the only ones eligible. \;\n \;\nPotential risks and strategi es for getting the most out of the credit. \;\n \;\nWho should att end: \;\n \;\nCFO’s\, controllers\, in-house counsel\, and others involved in financial management. \;\n \;\nAccountants and tax at torneys. \;\n \;\nCompany owners\, angel investors\, venture capi talists\, seed fund managers\, and other investors looking to maximize t heir investment returns. \;\n \;\nPatent attorneys\, operational consultants\, Lean gurus\, and test\, and design firms interested in edu cating their clients on a credit that can effectively lower their servic e costs. \;\n\n\nTags: software\, r&d\, tax\, tax credit\, incentives \, biotech\, medical device\, software as a service\n\nImported from: ht tp://calagator.org/events/1250462177 URL:http://www.oregonbio.org/Events/CFOSeminarSeries/tabid/332/Default.as px SUMMARY:R&D Tax Credits for Software and Biotech Companies LOCATION:Portland State Business Accelerator Mt.

In this Virtual Lunch &\; Learn session\, aspiring founders will gain practical\, actionable insight into two core pillars of early‑stag e biotech company formation. First\, we will cover why corporate formati on matters and what founders need to get right early on: choosing the ap propriate corporate structure\, properly issuing founder equity\, creati ng and maintaining a clean cap table\, establishing a functional board o f directors\, and preparing for future financing. These elements are ess ential for attracting investors\, protecting founder ownership\, and avo iding preventable legal and operational pitfalls. \;\n \;\nSecond\ , attendees will learn what to expect when in‑licensing foundational int ellectual property from a university\, academic medical center\, or rese arch institution—the critical step that often enables company formation in life sciences. We will demystify the tech transfer process\, discuss typical economic and diligence terms\, and highlight common negotiation and operational considerations so founders understand both the opportuni ties and obligations that come with licensing core IP. Whether you are p reparing to launch your first venture or exploring commercial pathways f or your science\, this session will provide clarity\, context\, and conf idence as you take the next steps on your entrepreneurial journey.\n\nTa gs: biotech\, entrepreneur\, funding\, networking\, science\, startup\n\ nImported from: http://calagator.org/events/1250482519 URL:https://www.tickettailor.com/events/oregonbioscienceincubator/2124627 SUMMARY:Virtual Lunch & Learn: Formation and Licensing: What Founders Nee d to Know SEQUENCE:1 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT CREATED;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20260415T160806Z DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20260507T200000 DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20260507T173000 DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20260415T160806Z LAST-MODIFIED;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20260415T160806Z UID:http://calagator.org/events/1250482531 DESCRIPTION:Think &\; Drink Trivia Night returns to OBI \;\n \;\ nJoin us at the Oregon Bioscience Incubator for an evening of dinner\, d rinks\, and friendly competition.
