As part of the Fund, FuzeHub offers manufacturing grants to New York State nonprofit organizations — including higher-education institutions — that propose projects in partnership with a New York state small to medium-sized manufacturer or technology company.
“We are excited to support awardees whose inspired ideas and collaborative efforts embody some of the best of New York State’s innovative community,” Patty Rechberger, Innovation Fund manager at FuzeHub, said in the announcement. “These grants represent more than funding — they’re a powerful investment in the partnerships and ingenuity that move breakthrough technologies from concept to real life. It’s inspiring to see what’s possible when people come together with the shared goal of building a better future.”
Grant awards
FuzeHub has awarded $65,000 to Cornell University, Cornell Center for Materials Research/ Esper Biosciences Inc. for a project that involves manufacturing transmission electron microscopy (TEM) grids for cryo-electron microscopy.
Esper Biosciences has teamed up with Cornell University to develop a sample substrate for electron microscopy (EM) that “promises high-resolution views of proteins,” per the FuzeHub announcement.
In addition, Clarkson University and the NYS Center of Excellence for Healthy Water Solutions (CoE HWS)/ RemWell, LLC will use a $65,000 grant award for their project, InSRT 3.0: Design for Manufacturing.
This project will “accelerate” RemWell’s development of a third-generation, production-ready technology to destroy harmful PFAS — also known as “forever chemicals” — in contaminated groundwater, FuzeHub said.
FuzeHub also awarded a $62,500 grant to Alliance for Manufacturing & Technology (AMT) / Stan’s Performance Products LLC for their project called Smart Production Tracking System with AI (artificial intelligence).
AMT, a Binghamton–area-based nonprofit that helps help small and mid-size manufacturers and high-tech startups, is partnering with Stan’s to bring AI-powered production tracking to its manufacturing process. This system will send real-time alerts, detect defects, predict maintenance needs, and provide a central dashboard to keep everything running smoothly.
