Manufacturing Assistance Program (MAP) Grant

The Manufacturing Assistance Program Grant sits under HTDC's INNOVATE Hawaii center, Hawaii's NIST Manufacturing Extension Partnership partner. It serves small and medium-sized manufacturers in the islands that are committed to growth, and the same center also administers Hawaii SBIR support. The public program page does not publish a dollar amount, but it presents MAP as part of a broader manufacturer support package rather than a single-purpose cash award. The center works across market research, sales and marketing, product design, strategic planning, technology scouting, workforce development, export help, advanced manufacturing, Industry 4.0, lean operations, supply chain work, sustainability, business continuity, cybersecurity, food safety, and quality management. That mix makes MAP most useful for manufacturers that want operational help alongside grant support. The best fit is a Hawaii company with a real expansion plan, a willingness to invest in process improvement, and a need for practical guidance that connects growth capital to day-to-day execution.

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