About this opportunity
This notice announces Phase 2 of the Regional Technology and Innovation Hub Program competition administered by the Economic Development Administration within the Department of Commerce. Eligible applicants are consortia previously designated as Tech Hubs under Phase 1, which must include higher education institutions, governments, industry groups, economic development organizations, and workforce organizations. Applications are due February 29, 2024 and will be evaluated based on the potential to strengthen U.S. economic and national security by developing globally competitive technology hubs within 10 years. The EDA seeks to award approximately $50-75 million in implementation grants to each of 5-10 Designated Tech Hubs.
Through place-based investments, the EDA intends for selected consortia to accelerate commercialization of new technologies and foster regional innovation. Implementation grants will support up to 5 years of work establishing and growing the designated Tech Hubs across institutions of higher education, industry, government and workforce entities within their respective regions.
