M2I2 Grants Awarded and FAQ.pdf

This file is a reference document for the Massachusetts Manufacturing Innovation Initiative (M2I2) Grants Awarded and FAQ, managed by the Mass Tech Collaborative in Massachusetts. The M2I2 program provides state grant funding to support Massachusetts innovators prepared to begin manufacturing hard-tech products. The FY27 application cycle includes two key deadlines: a Concept Paper Deadline on Monday, July 27, 2026, followed by a Full Application Deadline on Monday, August 17, 2026, for applicants selected to advance from the concept phase. The program structure involves a two-stage application process, with selected concept paper submissions progressing to full application review.

The file serves as a resource document directing applicants to additional information through web-based links to the grants awarded list and frequently asked questions. Specific details regarding funding amounts, eligibility criteria, award selection processes, and contract terms are available through the referenced Massachusetts Technology Collaborative website portals. The program targets hard-tech manufacturing ventures and appears designed to support early-stage commercialization efforts through competitive grant awards rather than traditional procurement contracts.
