The Idaho Global Entrepreneurial Mission (IGEM) Council is scheduled to meet on Monday, March 4, 2013.  The meeting will begin at 9:00 a.m. at the Idaho State Board of Education Offices (650 W. State Street, 3rd Floor, Boise, Idaho).  

The meeting will be held from 9:00 a.m. – 12:00 p.m., and will include a strategy update by Idaho Commerce Director Jeffery Sayer, as well as a discussion for distributing IGEM Innovation Grants.   

One of the primary responsibilities of the IGEM Council is to develop a statewide strategic plan to foster innovation.  The Council also oversees the Idaho Global Entrepreneurial Mission Grant Fund, which includes $950,000 appropriated by the Idaho State Legislature for grants.  IGEM Grant Funds will leverage private-industry guidance and the talent and expertise of Idaho’s research universities to commercialize innovative and viable technologies that will strengthen Idaho’s economy, create more job opportunities in our communities and meet the Governor’s Project 60 goals.
