WEDC grants support innovation, entrepreneurs
Investment will supercharge building of Regional Tech Hub
MADISON, WI. NOV. 16, 2023 – A special round of Entrepreneurship Partner Grants (EPG) will be available to groups supporting Wisconsin entrepreneurs working in biotechnology, personalized medicine and biohealth. The grants are part of the Wisconsin Economic Development Corporation’s (WEDC’s) commitment to the state’s Regional Tech Hub designation.
Recognizing that entrepreneurs in this field face unique challenges, WEDC has designated up to $500,000 in Entrepreneur Partner Grants to be awarded to organizations supporting entrepreneurs working in biotechnology.
The EPG program is for nonprofits, communities and other eligible organizations that are working to support entrepreneurs – including groups such as people of color, women, the LGBT+ community and rural residents who may not have had access to the same educational and funding opportunities as others. The program’s grants can help these nonprofits pay for things such as entrepreneurship training, mentors, seed accelerators, technical assistance and more.
Applications for the grants open on Dec. 1 and are due by Jan. 26.
Grants, which will likely range from $10,000 to $200,000 in both programs, will be awarded to programs based on factors such as number of entrepreneurs served, cost effectiveness and innovation.
