The data tool can be a valuable instrument in determining quickly where a state’s strengths in investment activity area are. The tool may also be useful for those submitting proposals to the Tech Hubs and other funding programs.
SSTI analyzed the 59 industry verticals for which Pitchbook collects investment data, comparing them against the 10 key technology focused areas (KTFA) that have been defined by the CHIPS and Science Act and are part of EDA’s Tech Hubs notice of funding opportunity. Data was then reformatted for ease of use and built into the provided visualizations and spreadsheet.
The data used for the development of this tool comes from Pitchbook and is published by SSTI with permission. See the Methodology and Notes section of the data tool for more information.
Through SSTI’s Tech-based Economic Development (TBED) Community of Practice, supported by EDA, all organizations can access the data tool.
