SCMC Catalyst Program:
Igniting Innovation & Accelerating Impact
The Silicon Crossroads Microelectronic Coalition (SCMC) Catalyst Program is designed to empower groundbreaking ideas, accelerate technological advancements, and bridge the gap between research and real-world application. Recognizing that innovation thrives at the intersection of expertise, resources, and opportunity, this program provides critical funding to trailblazers who are ready to push the boundaries of science, technology, and industry.
With a mission to fuel transformative projects, the SCMC Catalyst Program supports visionary researchers, entrepreneurs, and organizations by offering not just financial backing but also strategic mentorship, industry connections, and access to cutting-edge resources. Whether you’re a startup disrupting an industry, a research team pioneering next-gen solutions, or a company looking to scale a revolutionary technology, the SCMC Catalyst Program is here to turn your vision into reality.
The intent of this program is to address the multiple barriers that exist through the Technology Readiness Level (TRL) stage gates in the microelectronics industry. This program seeks to augment early-stage research opportunities (TRL 1-3) and mid-stage technology transition and development gaps (TRL 6-7) to prepare for commercialization.
The SCMC Catalyst Program is more than just funding — it’s an innovation enabler for high-impact microelectronics advancements. The SCMC Hub is seeking projects that:
Solve Critical Challenges – Address pressing industry or national security needs with bold, forward-thinking solutions.
Drive Technological Breakthroughs – Develop and accelerate next-generation technologies that have the potential to reshape industries.
Translate Research into Reality – Transform cutting-edge research into deployable, market-ready solutions.
Foster Collaboration – Connect Hub innovators with key stakeholders, industry leaders, and government partners to amplify impact.
This is your opportunity to be at the forefront of change. If you have a game-changing idea and the drive to make it happen, the SCMC Catalyst Program will provide the resources and support to help you succeed. Apply now and be the force that drives the future!
