HTDC HSBIR Phase II/III State Match

HTDC HSBIR Phase II/III State Match extends Hawaii's SBIR support ladder to companies that have already won a federal Phase II or Phase III award. Under the Hawaii High Technology Development Corporation, it provides a state cash match of up to 50 percent of the federal award, capped at $500,000, with availability subject to state appropriation. The eligibility pattern mirrors the earlier HSBIR routes. Applicants must be for-profit small businesses operating in Hawaii and registered in the United States, and the program excludes nonprofits, universities, research organizations, and individuals. Applications are accepted on a rolling basis, so timing depends more on readiness and state availability than on a fixed annual deadline. This is the deepest non-dilutive check in the sequence, so it fits companies that already have real federal momentum and a technical program worth extending. Teams that can demonstrate follow-on traction and a clear path for the state match to keep the work moving are the strongest candidates.

Each grant below is a distinct funding opportunity with its own eligibility, scope, and deliverables.
