The Build to Scale program aims to: • build public and private capacity for entrepreneurs and innovators to invent, improve, and bring to market new products and services in critical, emerging, and transformative sectors and industries3; • accelerate the growth of regional economies that are focused on industries of the future; • empower communities to provide proof-of-concept and commercialization assistance to technology innovators and entrepreneurs; and • equitably and inclusively increase access to capital for technology-enabled entrepreneurs.
This grant program supports organizations that may be operating initiatives to unlock investment capital across a region or sector, operating programs to accelerate company growth, empowering the next generation of entrepreneurs, or otherwise enabling technology commercialization. Frequently, entrepreneurs working in one or a set of related industries and technologies benefit from complementary resources, facilities, and labor markets.
