ACCD Secretary Michael Schirling and Agency leadership will announce the launch of the ThinkVermont Innovation Grant Program on Thursday, October 25th at 8:45 a.m. at Vermont Technical College in Randolph, VT.
The ThinkVermont Innovation Initiative was created to respond to the growth needs of Vermont small businesses with 20 or fewer employees by funding innovative strategies that accelerate small business growth. The grant program will allow the State to invest in projects with grants that can be accessed more quickly and with fewer restrictions than traditional federal initiatives. The appropriation for this program is $150,000.
“Our goal with this program is to support innovative strategies that grow the economy and support vibrant communities, while facilitating ‘testbed’ approaches to create reproducible results,” said Schirling.
Secretary Schirling’s announcement will open the application process for the program.
