Bill Summary

Commonwealth of Virginia Innovation Partnership Act; Regional Innovation Fund; Commonwealth Commercialization Fund; matching funds. Provides that, for purposes of the Regional Innovation Fund and the Commonwealth Commercialization Fund, any awards from such funds of $100,000 or less shall not require matching funds.

AI Summary

This bill amends the Commonwealth of Virginia Innovation Partnership Act to modify the matching fund requirements for awards from two key funds: the Regional Innovation Fund and the Commonwealth Commercialization Fund. Specifically, it removes the requirement for matching funds for any awards from these funds that are $100,000 or less, making it easier for smaller projects and startups to receive financial support without needing to secure additional funding. The Regional Innovation Fund supports regional economic development activities, capacity building, infrastructure for innovation, and technical assistance to startups, while the Commonwealth Commercialization Fund aims to foster research, development, and commercialization efforts with high economic development potential.
