High Technology Foundation Receives $848,800 from U.S. Department of Commerce to Support Small Business and Entrepreneurial Growth in West Virginia Federal Investment to Enhance Entrepreneurial Support and Foster Technology Innovation Across West Virginia FAIRMONT, WV — October 24, 2024 —The High Technology Foundation has been awarded $848,800 by the U.S. Economic Development Administration (EDA) to fund operational expenses for a statewide collaborative entrepreneurial assistance program. This initiative is part of the EDA's commitment to foster economic development in regions impacted by the decline in coal industries. The project will be matched with $212,200 in local funds, bringing the total investment to over $1 million. The program will provide critical support to entrepreneurs and small businesses in the technology sector across West Virginia. Through partnerships with TechConnect WV, the Chemical Alliance Zone, Marshall Advanced Manufacturing Center, and the U.S. Research Impact Alliance, the initiative will offer comprehensive technical assistance, including coaching, advising, and business development services. Additionally, the grant will support the creation of the West Virginia Investor Collaborative, aimed at establishing a network of investors interested in funding technology-based businesses within the state. In collaboration with TechConnect WV, the Collaborative will organize events over the next 12 months to connect investors with entrepreneurs, fostering economic growth and innovation. “We are excited to leverage this funding to enhance the entrepreneurial ecosystem in West Virginia,” said Jim Estep, President and CEO of the High Technology Foundation. “This program will enable us to provide vital resources, create new opportunities, and support the growth of small businesses that drive innovation in our region.” The High Technology Foundation’s efforts are part of a larger, regionally coordinated economic development strategy, led by the Regional Intergovernmental Council (RIC) and supported by the EDA. These initiatives aim to diversify the state’s economy, promote private capital investment, and create high-paying jobs for the communities impacted by the transition away from coal. This grant is funded under the EDA’s Assistance to Coal Communities (ACC) initiative, which seeks to support economic diversification, workforce development, and job creation in coal-impacted communities across the United States. # # # Media Contact: Lori Rhoades / 304-333-6814 / lrhoades@wvhtf.org

I recently posted about encouraging entrepreneurship in government. To help support more civil service entrepreneurs, the Open Innovation Team would like to create a government incubator unit. See slides if you’d like to know more. Key points are that: 💡 We’ve already begun incubating one new team, a cross-government evaluation service 💡 We think we could fund a more ambitious pilot ourselves, using income we generate from outside government to support other civil service entrepreneurs 💡 To increase the chances of success, we’d do it in collaboration with universities and others with experience of incubators and accelerators. Do let us know if this sparks any thoughts. We're particularly keen to learn more about other government or corporate experiments in this kind of space. Big thanks to Chris Ford at Lancaster University for helping us formulate the idea, and to Ben Taylor and Frances MacLellan for doing a brilliant job of helping us engage with other experts and pull the proposal together. #innovation #policy #civilservice #reform
