Objective
EDA’s Office of Innovation & Entrepreneurship is committed to furthering technology-based economic
development initiatives that accelerate high quality job growth, create more economic opportunities, and
support the future of the next generation of industry leading companies. To advance these goals, EDA
awards grants through the Build to Scale Program (formerly the Regional Innovation Strategies Program)
for activities designed to develop and support regional innovation initiatives.1 EDA thereby advances the
growth of connected, innovation-centric economies that increase job growth, enable the workforce of
tomorrow, enhance global competitiveness, and foster global competitiveness through technology
commercialization and entrepreneurship as described in Stevenson-Wydler Technology Innovation Act of
1980 (hereafter “Section 27”).
The Build to Scale Program invites organizations who are aiding companies in developing the next
generation of technologies to apply for funding. These organizations may be operating initiatives to unlock
investment capital across a region or sector, operating programs to accelerate company growth,
empowering the next generation of entrepreneurs, and/or enabling technology commercialization.
Under the Build to Scale Program, EDA is soliciting applications for three separate competitions: (1) the
Venture Challenge, (2) the Capital Challenge, and (3) the Industry Challenge. Applicants may apply to all
three challenges but may only submit one application per competition. As discussed further below, these
activities are designed to develop and support regional innovation initiatives.
