S 1226 New Jersey Senate · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Requires EDA to create needs-matching website for eligible entities.

This bill requires New Jersey's Economic Development Authority (EDA) to create a website connecting eligible innovation-focused businesses and organizations with suppliers and funding. The website will let eligible entities - such as tech companies, research facilities, medical institutions, and nonprofits in industries like biotechnology, renewable energy, and advanced computing - post needs (e.g., equipment, labor, or physical space) and find matching suppliers or services. It also mandates the EDA to include a searchable list of public and private funding sources, including state/federal grants, directly on the platform. The website must be developed with input from these eligible entities and become operational immediately upon enactment.
