April is South Carolina Innovation Awareness Month, a celebration of the state’s rapidly growing technology and innovation ecosystem. S.C. Commerce is among the founding partners of Innovation Awareness Month, alongside the Medical University of South Carolina and South Carolina Research Authority. Together, the group is committed to advancing existing innovation programs and resources, while promoting the ecosystem’s many opportunities.
The economic development community understands the importance of fostering innovation growth, ranging from research and development efforts to innovation and entrepreneurship at a local or startup level. Through the Relentless Challenge grant program, S.C. Commerce has awarded more than $8.9 million to over 80 projects — many of which have found continued success.
