The Michigan Emerging Technologies Fund (the ETF) is designed to expand funding opportunities for Michigan technology based companies in the federal innovation research and development arena. Since 2008, the Michigan Small Business Development Center (MI-SBDC) in partnership with the Michigan Economic Development Corporation (MEDC) has dedicated $7.28 million to match federal SBIR/STTR funding opportunities for exceptional research and technical innovation generated in Michigan. The ETF will match both Phase I and Phase II SBIR/STTR awards until funds are exhausted. The State Headquarters, located at Grand Valley State University, supports 12 regional offices and over 30 satellite offices, each providing counseling and training to small business owners and entrepreneurs throughout the 83 counties in Michigan through a cooperative agreement with the U.S. Small Business Administration. The ETF will match SBIR/STTR awards in the amounts of $25,000 for Phase I and up to $125,000 for Phase II.
