Jobs For Connecticut Now

Interesting piece in Federal Computer Week (FCW) yesterday, which depicts another creative way that policymakers can spur innovation with investment, and help provide more jobs and those small businesses that employ so many of New England’s hardest working residents…

Portion from the FCW piece: The Energy Department plans to release $37 million in funding from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act to small businesses to stimulate research and development into clean energy technologies.

The funding will be available through the Small Business Innovation Research and Small Business Technology Transfer programs targeted toward U.S. companies with fewer than 500 employees. Topic areas being considered for funding include sensors, controls, wireless networks and smart controllers for smart grid applications.
