Innovation Cluster Accelerator Program Cohort 3 applications are open
Pre-proposal conference is March 13
The Washington State Department of Commerce is initiating a Solicitation of Applications from industry-led consortia interested in participating in the a new accelerated cohort of the

and more.
Applications are due by 5 p.m. April 2.
What is ICAP?
There are approximately 7,000 innovation clusters worldwide. From Washington state’s first cohort of innovation clusters to Canada’s Digital Supercluster and the Queensland Robotics
Cluster in Australia, clusters are increasingly used to grow existing industries, transform legacy industries and build entirely new industries. Around the world, government leaders
and private industry executives look to innovation clusters to create trust-based collaboration platforms, speed up the pace of innovation, solve industry-level challenges and compete
in new markets.
Pre-proposal conferences
