Calling all Washington companies with technology needs: new WTC R&D funding program

MATR Sponsor (view all)

PFL Tech Inc. is a marketing technology company that provides sales enablement and marketing automation solutions, as well asprinting, mailing, and fulfillment services. They also provide some great Montana Jobs.

Washington Technology Center (WTC) wants to help Washington companies use the expertise of our state’s research
faculty and students to improve the economy–specifically, to help companies
create more jobs.

The new Technology as a Tool Program was created for companies
that don’t quite fit WTC’s existing RTD grant program criteria. WTC’s RTD funding
program focuses on technology companies and university research projects in which
results are implemented directly in the company’s products.

The Technology as a Tool Program will award grants of up to $20,000 (no indirect
costs taken out) to university faculty collaborating with a Washington company(s)
for projects involving technology.

The new program broadens WTC’s focus to include
collaborations involving the use or implementation of technology. We also aim
to increase the number of departments, colleges, and companies that participate
in WTC’s grant programs.
