The 21st Century Jobs Fund Informational Tour

Michigan, today, is at a crossroads. Our economy is going through a transformation; the manufacturing industries that once guaranteed high-paying jobs are declining. To reshape our economy the 21st Century Jobs Fund will spark new investment, creating high-tech companies and jobs which will diversify our economy.

The 21st Century Jobs Fund will be used to jump start our economy now and diversify and grow the state's economy in the future by focusing resources in three areas:

  • Encourage the Development and Commercialization of Competitive-Edge Technologies
  • Increase Capital Investment Activity
  • Increase Commercial Lending Activity

The meetings are designed to provide more information about access to the new funds to potential business startups, researchers and product developers. Each information session will focus on presenting the program's request for proposals, proposal due dates, peer review process, eligibility requirements, funding categories, evaluation criteria and other meaningful information for potential applicants.
