Build to Scale Reauthorization Act of 2026

Key Points

• This bill continues a federal program that helps different regions across the country grow their own technology and innovation businesses. It provides 50 million dollars every year from 2026 through 2030 to support these local efforts.
• The plan focuses on helping new companies get the money they need to start and grow. It specifically targets rural areas and places that have struggled with job losses or long term economic problems.
