E-TAG Grants Available for Companies Working with Edison Centers or Edison Incubators
EWI has announced the next cut off for applications to the Edison Technology Assistance Grants (E-TAG) program for Monday, July 18.  The E-TAG program is a strategic technology acceleration program whereby for-profit Ohio companies, working in collaboration with one or more Edison Centers or Edison Incubators, can receive small and targeted grants ($25-$50k) that will help the company overcome some hurdle that stands between them and commercial success of a technology-based product or production process.

The objectives of E-TAG are to:

• Accelerate the introduction of new technology products or adopt new Ohio based technological processes;
• Accelerate time to market or full adoption of technology;
• Create new employment opportunities within Ohio companies;
• Create wealth within Ohio; and
• Strengthen the supply chains for targeted industry sectors.

E-TAG is designed for small companies already located in Ohio that could benefit from direct technical assistance of one or more Edison Centers and that have limited access to other state funding sources.
E-TAG grants are considered throughout the year, if you would like more information on eligibility criteria and applying, contact any Edison Center or your TechColumbus coach.
