REGIONAL TECHNOLOGY AND INNOVATION HUBS (TECH HUBS)

EDA released a Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) on May 12, 2023 for Phase 1
of the Tech Hubs Program. Click here to apply(link is external). For the latest
updates, sign up for EDA emails and texts(link is external). For more
information, register for the Informational Webinar on May 18, 2023(link is
external).

The Tech Hubs Program is an economic development initiative designed to drive
regional technology- and innovation-centric growth by strengthening a region’s
capacity to manufacture, commercialize, and deploy critical technologies. This
program will invest directly in regions with the assets, resources, capacity,
and potential to transform into globally competitive innovation centers in
approximately 10 years while catalyzing the creation of good jobs for American
workers at all skill levels, both equitably and inclusively. 

The Tech Hubs Program is an investment in our future.  This program will bring
together a wide array of public, private, and academic partners into a
collaborative consortium focused on regional economic development needs and
unique growth opportunities. By growing these new centers of innovation
throughout America, the Tech Hubs Program will help strengthen U.S. economic and
national security. 

The Tech Hubs Program was enacted as part of the CHIPS and Science Act of 2022
(as the Regional Technology and Innovation Hubs program). The statute authorized
$10 billion for the program over five years. As part of the FY 2023 Consolidated
Appropriations Act, Congress appropriated EDA $500 million to launch the
program. 

The Tech Hubs Program seeks to ensure that the industries of the future—and
their good jobs—start, grow, and remain in the United States. This program will
invest in U.S. regions that are focused on technologies within or across the key
technology focus areas outlined in the statute. 


LATEST FUNDING OPPORTUNITY 

On May 12, 2023, EDA published the Tech Hubs Phase 1 Notice of Funding
Opportunity (NOFO) (PDF)—the first of two phases. Below is an overview, but
please read the NOFO and Frequently Asked Questions for specific details. 

PHASE 1 (Deadline: August 15, 2023) 

EDA will designate at least 20 Tech Hubs across the country and will separately
award approximately $15 million in strategy development grants to accelerate the
development of future Tech Hubs. The Tech Hubs designation will be a widely
recognized indicator of a region’s potential for rapid technology-led economic
growth.  

PHASE 2 (EDA expects to release the Phase 2 NOFO in Fall 2023.) 

In Phase 2, EDA will make at least 5 implementation awards to designated EDA
Tech Hubs. Only Tech Hubs that EDA designates during Phase 1 are eligible to
apply for Phase 2. 


WHO IS ELIGIBLE TO APPLY? 

Only consortia are eligible. Each consortium has certain required and optional
entity types to qualify. Regional consortia could include various combinations
that include academia, private sector, government, federal labs, and unions,
among others. (See the NOFO for specific requirements.) In Phase 2, only
consortia that EDA designates in Phase 1 will be eligible to apply. 

EDA defines a Tech Hub’s geography as a Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA) or a
similar area (including Micropolitan Statistical Areas (μSAs) or tightly
interconnected combinations of MSAs and/or μSAs) with a concentration of assets,
capital, R&D, labor market, and infrastructure strongly relevant to the Hub’s
selected core technology area, the Hub’s identified market opportunity, and its
potential to become globally competitive in that given sector, industry, and/or
area within a decade. Applicants should identify their chosen geography as part
of their application. Consortia may include assets or members outside their
chosen geography—e.g., in nonmetro rural areas or partnerships with
geographically distant but tightly mission-aligned organizations—that support
the consortium’s strategy and benefit the Tech Hub. If you have questions about
whether you are an eligible entity, please contact TechHubs@eda.gov.
