One week left to apply for $150,000 grand prize

Now through August 17, individuals can apply to the FuzeHub Commercialization Competition 2022. FuzeHub anticipates making at least six awards of up to $50,000 each. One company has the chance to win an additional $100,000 for a total of $150,000. The remainder of the available funding may be allocated to one or more runners-up.

Selected finalists will pitch live during the NYS Innovation Summit at the Buffalo Niagara Convention Center on October 25 and 26. The FuzeHub commercialization competition is designed to help small and medium (SME) size manufacturing and technology companies. It was created to help a company further develop their prototype and pursue additional investment and customers. The competition also works to strengthen the “go-to-market” strategies, as business owners move from new product and production methods to the marketplace.

For startup businesses, this is the chance to secure not only funding, but also access to a powerful network of supporting organizations that can help a company thrive for years to come.

All application materials, including eligibility requirements, guidelines, and a PowerPoint template are available now until August 17 at FuzeHub Application.
