Opportunity Information: Apply for EDA TECHHUBS 2025
The FY 2025 Regional Technology and Innovation Hub Program (Tech Hubs Program) is a federal funding opportunity focused on boosting U.S. economic competitiveness and national security through place-based investments in key regions. These investments aim to help designated areas become globally competitive in emerging technologies and industries within roughly a decade—especially in fields that support manufacturing, tech commercialization, job creation, and national defense.
Only 19 pre-qualified Tech Hub consortia are eligible to apply. These groups were designated as official Tech Hubs in October 2023, have already received Consortium Accelerator Awards, and have not yet received implementation funds from the Economic Development Administration (EDA).
The program emphasizes non-research activities such as workforce development, business and entrepreneurial support, technology development, infrastructure development, and governance structures. It’s structured as a two-stage competition. Stage I involves a merit-based review of project portfolios; only selected projects will move forward to Stage II, where a more rigorous evaluation and final selection process takes place.
Funding is available for a mix of construction and non-construction projects. Applicants must demonstrate strong value for taxpayers and show how their proposals advance the commercialization and scaling of critical technologies—not just basic research.
Eligible consortia must include representatives from higher education, state or local governments, industry, economic development organizations, and labor or workforce training groups. Applications must be submitted electronically through the EDA’s online system (EDGE). Funding is not available to individuals.Apply for EDA TECHHUBS 2025
