Description
This program, administered by the New Jersey Commission on Science, Innovation & Technology (CSIT), provides voucher funding to help early-stage clean technology and clean energy companies in New Jersey access specialized equipment, facilities, and makerspaces at participating university and government labs. The goal is to enable small businesses to advance their clean tech solutions—such as those in energy, materials, water, and agriculture—from basic research through pilot demonstration, while leveraging the state's research infrastructure and fostering innovation that avoids or recaptures greenhouse gases and pollutants.
