$26 Million Competition for Job Innovation Accelerators
The Obama Administration announced on May 29 a $26 million
multi-agency Advanced Manufacturing Jobs and Innovation Accelerator Challenge
to foster innovation-fueled job creation through public-private partnerships.
The challenge will support projects that aim to help grow a region's industry
clusters by strengthening connections to regional economic development
opportunities and advanced manufacturing assets; enhance a region's capacity to
create high-quality sustainable jobs; develop a skilled and diverse advanced
manufacturing workforce; increase exports; encourage the development of small
businesses; and accelerate technological innovation.
This is the third round of the Jobs Accelerator competition, which is being funded by the Energy Department; the U.S. Department of Commerce's Economic Development Administration and National Institute of Standards and Technology; the U.S. Department of Labor's Employment and Training Administration; the Small Business Administration; and the National Science Foundation.
