Build to Scale Reauthorization Act of 2026

Key Points

• This bill renews a federal program that gives grants to help local tech companies and startups grow. It focuses on helping new businesses get the money and training they need to turn new inventions into successful products.
• The plan sets aside $50 million every year from 2026 through 2030. This money goes to state governments and non-profit groups that support local entrepreneurs and small business owners.
• It requires the government to reach out to rural towns and places that have lost jobs because of international trade. These areas can qualify for more federal help, covering up to 90 percent of the costs for local projects.
• Groups receiving these grants must work with local workforce boards. This ensures that as new tech companies grow, they are also training local workers for the new jobs being created.
