Innovate Alabama has announced the opening of the fifth round of applications for their Supplemental Grant Program.

Innovate Alabama is the state’s first private-public partnership focused on modernizing the state’s economy through innovation and entrepreneurship. The organization provides funds to small businesses with the aim of positioning the state as a key player in generating technologies that will shape the world.

Launched in 2022, Innovate Alabama’s Supplemental Grant Program has provided over $14 million in supplemental funding to Phase I and II Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) and Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) grant recipients across 68 small businesses in nine Alabama cities.

In addition to providing funding for Alabama-based entrepreneurs, these grants help to recruit top talent to the state.
