CCAT Announces 2015 Manufacturing Assistance Program
The program is open to small and mid-sized Connecticut manufacturers.
The Connecticut Center for Advanced Technology Inc. (CCAT, East Hartford, Connecticut) is accepting applications through December 31 for its 2015 Manufacturing Technical Assistance Program (MTAP). Manufacturing companies with fewer than 100 employees are invited to submit project proposals for solving manufacturing process problems or supporting the ability to offer new service or begin producing new products. The program is open to small and mid-sized Connecticut companies in good standing with the state. CCAT expects to fund multiple proposals with award potential ranging to $75,000 per project.
Under the state legislature-financed program through assistance from the University of Connecticut, CCAT receives funding to support projects based on the needs of each company. In reviewing applications, emphasis is placed on how the company’s project enhances manufacturing operations in Connecticut, including growth, job retention or company revenue. Firms from any sector may apply as long as the proposal relates to manufacturing operations. Proposed projects must start by February and be substantially completed within six months.
