REBECCA: Regional Energy Business, Education, And Commercialization Convergence Accelerator

The REBECCA Tech Hub has been selected for a Strategy Development Award by the Economic Development Administration (EDA) of the U.S. Department of Commerce, recognizing our leadership in energy innovation and economic development across Kentucky. This designation positions us to actively pursue a $75 million Implementation Award from the EDA, accelerating our efforts to build a robust innovation ecosystem.

Additionally, we have been invited to submit a full proposal to the National Science Foundation (NSF) for a $160 million initiative over the next 10 years. We are currently advancing both the NSF Engines Proposal and the Tech Hub Implementation Proposal, focusing on infrastructure development, cutting-edge research, and workforce expansion in the energy sector. We welcome you to be part of our Tech Hub’s stakeholder meetings to shape the consortium.
