The Massachusetts Manufacturing Innovation Initiative (M2I2) provides state grant funding to help Massachusetts innovators advance hardtech products to manufacturing stage. M2I2 supports sectors including electronics, bioindustrial manufacturing, robotics, additive manufacturing, and AI-enabled smart manufacturing. The program funds capital equipment that remains in Massachusetts and supports companies at Technology Readiness Levels 4-6 with a clear plan for pilot-scale manufacturing. Applications are accepted on a rolling basis and reviewed at least quarterly by the Center for Advanced Manufacturing (CAM), a division of MassTech. Recent awards include $1.85 million distributed across three manufacturers supporting up to 62 new jobs in advanced manufacturing including AI-enabled robotics.
Wisconsin Training for Resilient Advanced Industry Needs, known as WisTRAIN, is a Wisconsin Department of Workforce Development employer grant programme backed by approximately 7,000,000 US dollars in federal funding to deliver employer-driven occupational skills training in advanced manufacturing and artificial intelligence. The programme was announced by Governor Evers and DWD in 2026 and is notable for treating AI as an industrial skills problem rather than a research one: named training areas include data analytics, cybersecurity, predictive maintenance and robotics, which is the practical skill set that manufacturing firms need to actually operate Industry 4.0 equipment they have already bought. Funding supports occupational skills training including apprenticeship and pre-apprenticeship programmes, and is open to employers of any size, which makes it accessible to the small and mid-sized manufacturers that typically cannot fund structured training internally. Trainees must be employed in Wisconsin-based positions, and applicants must either operate a business in Wisconsin or participate in a Wisconsin employer consortium, the latter being a useful route for smaller firms that cannot fill a cohort alone. The initial application deadline was 13 July 2026 at 11:59pm, after which DWD stated that applications may be accepted and reviewed on a rolling basis until all funds are awarded, so the programme remains a live option for Wisconsin employers while funding lasts.
