Emerging Technology Fund<br />

www.governor.state.tx.us/divisions/ecodev/etf<br />

House Bill 1765, passed in 2005, established the Texas Emerging Technology Fund<br />

(ETF) in order to provide funding for emerging technologies in the state. The ETF has<br />

three components: Regional Centers of Innovation and Commercialization project<br />

grants, Matching Emerging Technology research grants, and Acquisition of Research<br />

Superiority grants. Projects will be funded that may result in creation of high quality new<br />

jobs, immediately or over a longer period, in the state if tied to emerging technology; or<br />

projects that have the potential to result in a medical or scientific breakthrough.<br />

The Texas Enterprise Fund supports a variety of economic development projects,<br />

including infrastructure development, community development, job training programs<br />

and business incentives. These funds will be used primarily to attract new business to<br />

the state or assist with the substantial expansion of an existing business as part of a<br />

competitive recruitment situation.<br />

In 2004, the Fund awarded a $3.6 million grant to the Texas Energy Center, a<br />

consortium of private companies and public sector entities advancing energy-related<br />

R&D and commerce including hydrogen and fuel cell technologies.<br />
