About
The Innovate Alabama Supplemental Grant Program provides additional resources for small businesses whose proven business models and technologies are helping accelerate innovation in the state.
Small businesses who have an active Phase I or Phase II Federal Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) or Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) grant on July 1, 2023, or afterward are eligible for non-dilutive funding from the Innovate Alabama Supplemental Grant Program.
This unique grant program provides support for recipients who do not need to exchange shares of their company for the grant. These businesses have proven through scientific review that their technologies are viable, valuable and scalable.
Move your idea from concept to commercialization. Stay tuned for details on upcoming rounds of the Innovate Alabama Supplemental Grant Program.
