About this file
This is a program details document for the Massachusetts Manufacturing Innovation Initiative (M2I2), a state grant program administered by the Mass Tech Collaborative in Massachusetts. The program provides state grant funding to support Massachusetts innovators preparing to manufacture hard-tech products. The FY27 application process includes two key deadlines: a Concept Paper deadline of Monday, July 27, 2026, followed by a Full Application deadline of Monday, August 17, 2026, for applicants selected to advance from the concept stage.
Grant funding is restricted to capital purchases including equipment, development of new technology platforms or systems, and related capital costs only; land acquisition and new building construction are ineligible expenditures, as are staff salaries. All capital must be installed within Massachusetts borders and accounted for as capital expenditures under Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP). Eligible applicants must have or plan to have operations in Massachusetts and must be either an institution of higher education (including state, municipal, and community colleges and universities), a nonprofit organization, or another public or quasi-public entity located in Massachusetts, or alternatively must partner with such an entity. All projects require a minimum 1:1 cost match of the state's investment, with matching contributions accepted from the applicant, third parties, private investments, or federal grants, provided such contributions are necessary for project objectives, included in the approved budget, not sourced from other state grants, verifiable, and not used as matching funds for other federally or state-supported projects. Recipients must report annually on project progress and impacts for every active year and for one year following project completion, and must present on their M2I2 project at a public event designated by the Commonwealth's Commonwealth of Massachusetts.

Massachusetts Manufacturing Innovation Initiative (M2I2) Program Details
Project Budgets
Grants are available for capital purchases including equipment, development of new technology platforms or systems and related capital costs only. The acquisition of land and construction of new buildings are not eligible capital expenditures for the purposes of this program. Staff salaries are also not a reimbursable capital expenditure for purposes of this program. All capital expenditures to be funded under this program must be accounted for by the recipient in its financial records as a capital expenditure under Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”). The capital acquired must be installed within the borders of the Commonwealth.
All projects require a minimum of a 1:1 cost match of the state’s investment under this program. All contributions, including cash and in-kind contributions, will be accepted as part of the match requirement provided that such contributions meet all of the following criteria: (i) are necessary to accomplish the objectives of the collaborative project; (ii) are included in the approved budget for the project; (iii) are not sourced from other state grants; (iv) are verifiable from recipient’s records; and (v) are not included as matching contributions for any other federal or state-supported project. Match costs should be incurred within the grant period. Match can come from the applicant, third parties, other private investments, or federal grants. Any fees required from the non-profit partner can be considered as part of the applicant’s cost share but cannot be an allowable grant funded cost.
Eligible Applicants
An applicant must have, or plan to have, operations in Massachusetts. Additionally, all applicants must either be (i.) an institution of higher education including state, municipal and community colleges and universities, (ii.) a nonprofit organization, or (iii.) another public or quasi-public entity located in Massachusetts OR must have a partnership with an institution of higher education, a nonprofit organization, or a public or quasi-public entity located in Massachusetts.
Reporting
All projects that receive cost share from the M2I2 program must report at least annually on progress and impacts of the project to the state for every year that the project is active and for one year after it completes. Applicants must also present on their M2I2 project at a public event of CAM’s choosing one time during the course of the project.
