The U.S. Small Business Administration has launched the first Critical Suppliers Prize Competition offering up to $20 million to small businesses that can quickly scale domestic production in advanced metals, advanced materials, and energy systems to strengthen U.S. manufacturing and supply chains.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Industrial.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

You can access up to $6 million in non-dilutive capital to scale production if your small business works in metals, materials, or energy components. This funding opens a clear path to expand US manufacturing where supply chains are fragile.
