Arlington Innovation Fund Arlington, Virginia opens in new tab or window Arlington Innovation Fund The Arlington Innovation Fund (AIF), an initiative of Arlington Economic Development, drives the growth of Arlington's tech sector through two complementary programs: the Catalyst Grant Program and the Tech Ecosystem Support Fund.
AIF supports early-stage startups with capital while also investing in programs and partnerships that expand resources, talent and visibility across the local innovation ecosystem. Established with a $1 million allocation in the FY24 County Budget, the fund received funding in FY25 to further strengthen Arlington's position as a leading technology hub.
Tech Ecosystem Support Fund The Tech Ecosystem Support Fund invests in local and regional programs that strengthen Arlington's innovation landscape and advance the broader technology ecosystem across Northern Virginia. Through this fund, AED supports initiatives that elevate our startup community, expand resources for founders and help position Arlington as a nationally recognized hub for technology and entrepreneurship.
One example of this impact is CrowdFuel , a community-driven pitch and feedback series supported by the fund. If you or your organization are developing a program, event or initiative that could contribute to the region's innovation ecosystem, we'd love to hear from you. Please contact AED's Startup Ecosystem Manager, Tally Wolff , to explore partnership opportunities.
