Oregon InC is offering funding for projects that help build and support new and emerging industries in the state.
Oregon InC, a public-private partnership, has put out a request for proposals to increase the ability to innovate in five key industries where it says Oregon already has a competitive advantage. These include advanced manufacturing; clean technology and renewable energy; forestry and wood products; high technology; and outdoor gear and apparel.
