$250K for Tech Research: Application Workshop for Founders

​Curious about how your tech startup can secure up to $250,000 in matching funds for applied tech research? Join us for an in-depth workshop on the Applied Research Center (ARC) Grant, hosted by Joseph Bianchi, Director of Venture Development, and Katie McCown, Finance PM, of the Arizona Commerce Authority. With over $2 million in match funding still available, this is a fantastic opportunity for companies working in innovative fields like blockchain, wearables, and beyond.

​During this session, we’ll walk you through everything you need to know about the ARC Grant—eligibility criteria, required academic partnerships, funding timelines, application materials, and what’s expected after you receive funding. Whether you’re just starting your application or want to make sure your submission stands out, this workshop will help you put your best foot forward.

​Funding is awarded on a rolling, first-come-first-served basis. If your venture is conducting cutting-edge research in Arizona, we strongly encourage you to submit an application promptly.
