Lewis-Burke Assosicates have provided us with a report about EDA's Build to Scale opportunity. B2S is a signature initiative at EDA for the development of regional innovation ecosystems. Similar to previous years, B2S aims to provide flexible financial support to projects that support innovative technology-based economic development (TBED) solutions to develop startups, commercialization programming, pathways to capital, and high-quality jobs by leveraging the competitive strengths of a region. Funding can be used for a wide range of operational and programmatic activities, and unlike some EDA programs, applicants do not have to align with a specific distress criterion. Please see the report for more information.
