What Founders Should Watch During National Small Business Week 2026

National Small Business Week 2026 arrives alongside consequential federal program launches. The SBA's Made in America Loan Guarantee activates May 1 — the same week. The SBIR/STTR reauthorization was signed April 13. For founders tracking federal capital access and innovation funding, National Small Business Week 2026 sessions provide direct access to the people and programs shaping those opportunities.

Founders in Michigan, Pennsylvania, North Carolina, and Georgia should monitor sba.gov/events for National Small Business Week 2026 roadshow appearances in their area.
