Join us on Tuesday, May 7, from 12:00 to 1:00 PM for Illinois Innovation Voucher (IIV) Funding for Small Business with Madeleine Wolske and Laura Appenzeller. This session will share information on the new IIV program released by the Illinois Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity (DCEO) and the Illinois Science and Technology Coalition. The Small Business Development Centers (SBDC) and EnterpriseWorks will provide information on the program parameters, timeline, and recommendations for small companies seeking to pursue the program. IIV offers up to $75,000 in funding to small businesses in 2024 that create an innovation collaboration with an Illinois Higher Education Institution. This session will include specific suggestions for working with the University of Illinois and/or Parkland College locally as partners.
