Massachusetts TechHubs Program | Innovation Massachusetts TechHubs Program Empowering Innovation Ecosystems Across Massachusetts The Massachusetts TechHubs Program (MA TechHubs) is a place-based economic development initiative intended to strengthen regional innovation ecosystems across the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.
The program will designate regions as TechHubs to recognize their capacity for leadership in innovation-driven economic development and to enhance their visibility as centers of technological progress and opportunity.
Through TechHub designations and strategic investments in infrastructure and scaling companies, the program aims to bridge regional disparities in innovation capacity to foster technology development, advance high-growth industries, and drive equitable economic growth.
MA TechHubs was established as part of the state’s 2024 economic development bill – the Mass Leads Act - to provide grants to regional communities demonstrating potential to strengthen the state’s leadership in key emerging technology sectors.
It aims to bridge gaps in ecosystem readiness, foster the growth of innovative local companies, and ensure that all communities can participate in and contribute to the Commonwealth’s robust innovation economy. A MA TechHub represents a geographically cohesive region that demonstrates the capacity to drive innovation through its distinct combination of assets, partnerships and industry or technology focus areas.
By becoming a designated MA TechHub, regions join a network of ecosystem builders sharing resources, best practices and opportunities for growth. This designation enhances a region's visibility and credibility as an emerging or established center of innovation, helping to attract external partners, investments and talent.
MA TechHubs awarded projects in three distinct tracks, each tailored to meet the varying needs of regions at different stages of ecosystem development. On November 6, 2025 the Healey-Driscoll administration announced the 14 regions designated as MA TechHubs and more than $16. 3 million to fund innovation infrastructure and strategy development projects in the regions.

Schmidt Marine Technology Partners funds the development and deployment of ocean technology — sustainable fisheries, ocean observation, habitat restoration, and pollution — with grants typically $100,000 to $400,000. The initial proposal window closes July 31, 2026. Here's what makes this funder different and how to write for it.
Read articleMTO opened six SBIR topics on May 27 with a single June 24 close: nanopore proteomics, compact wideband tunable RF filters, 800°C-rated integrated circuits, passive thermal spreaders, radiation-hardened codesign, and low-resource computing for legacy hardware reuse. Together they map the office's bet on where U.S. semiconductor advantage gets reasserted — and which small businesses get to ride along.
Read articleDARPA MTO opened six FY26 SBIR topics on May 27 with a June 24 deadline — nanopore proteomics, compact RF filters, 800°C ICs, passive thermal spreaders, radiation-hardened codesign, and low-resource computing. The topics read like a wishlist for the next decade of contested-environment microelectronics. Here is what each one is actually asking for, and how small businesses should triage the four-week window.
