* NextEnergy launches MATch: There are multiple sources of federal funding for advanced energy research, development, and demonstration programs. However, businesses often have difficulty finding required matching funds, lack support in developing applications, and need commercialization services after the funding is secured. To help address those needs, NextEnergy has launched MATch (Michigan Accelerating Technologies) Energy Grant. It is funded by the Michigan Economic Development Corp. and provides matching funds to eligible Michigan businesses and universities applying for advanced energy-related federal funding.
