“The iGrant has been setup for technology start-ups, researchers, entrepreneurs, and university spin outs,” said Rogue Valley’s founder and CEO Jessica Gomez. iGrant applications are open to teams that are in the process of building technology start-upcompanies or developing new MEMS, nanotechnology or biomedical technologies.
The mission of the iGrant is to foster technology and business growth. Bringing new technology to market is difficult and the iGrant was designed to help individuals with goodideas see those ideas through to completion byproviding funding, business support, equipment, facilities and expert consultation.
“We are primarily focusing onMEMS, semiconductor devices, microelectronics, biomedical, nanotechnology, and wafer fabrication technologies,” Gomez added.
