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

REBECCA Tech Hub is a 501(c)(3) organization focused on advancing energy innovation and economic development across Kentucky.

REBECCA has received a Strategy Development Grant from the U.S. Economic Development Administration (EDA), supporting our efforts to build a robust regional innovation ecosystem. This designation enables us to pursue a $75 million Tech Hub Implementation Award from the EDA.

In addition, REBECCA has been selected as a semifinalist in the National Science Foundation’s (NSF) Regional Innovation Engines Program, which could provide up to $160 million in funding over the next 10 years.

We are currently developing both the NSF Engines full proposal and the EDA Implementation Proposal. These initiatives focus on infrastructure, applied research, and workforce development in the energy sector. Stakeholder meetings are ongoing as we shape the direction of the consortium.
