Up to six pre-seed robotics start-ups to receive up to $100,000 as part of the nationally recognized AlphaLab program.
Residency helps start-ups develop production-ready products with in-house prototyping and design assistance.
The Robotics Factory, an array of robotics programs led by Innovation Works and the Pittsburgh Robotics Network, assists start-ups in the robotics field to create, accelerate, and scale in Southwestern Pennsylvania.
The Robotics Factory is a part of the $63 million Build Back Better Regional Challenge grant awarded by the U.S. Economic Development Administration (EDA) to the Southwestern Pennsylvania New Economy Collaborative.
The Robotics Factory will further the region's efforts to grow robotics startups and link them to industry and manufacturing capabilities. What captured the attention of the EDA and made the Southwestern Pennsylvania application stand out for the competitive Build Back Better grant was the region's cohesive approach to building the workforce and capabilities of robotics industries.
Not only will the Robotics Factory programs address existing problems experienced by industries that can be solved using robotics and automation solutions, we will also provide the resources and funding that are so critical to emerging companies. Together, the Robotics Factory Create, Accelerate and Scale programs will be dynamic additions to one of the regions most important economic engines.
