EDA Releases 2012 i6 Challenge
The Economic Development Administration (EDA) released the third round of the i6 Challenge to spur high-growth entrepreneurship. EDA and its partners will commit up to $6 million to establish six proof-of-concept centers that promote American innovation, foster entrepreneurship and increase the commercialization of ideas into viable companies. These centers incorporate a range of services from technology and market evaluation, through business planning and mentorship and on to early stage access to capital. Organizations eligible for i6 challenge grants include U.S. states, local governments, institutions of higher education and nonprofit organizations. The application deadline is July 20, 2012.
