The Manufacturing Innovation Voucher Program (MVP) is being administered by the Connecticut Center for Advanced Technology (CCAT).

MVP provides financial assistance in the form of matching grants to Connecticut manufacturers to help undertake innovative projects that will significantly improve productivity, efficiency and competitiveness.

The program is administered on a first-come, first-served basis. Grant amounts range from $5,000 to a maximum of $50,000, and applicants must match grant awards dollar for dollar. This program can be utilized for many different applications, including but not limited to market analysis, patenting, licensing, prototype development, and industry specific training.
