Humble brag alert (and a word of thanks!):
#theplatformatgreer is the proud recipient of a grant designed to grow South Carolina’s innovation economy. @sccommerce announced the 2024 Relentless Challenge Grant recipients this morning.
The funding will help us expand the reach of our signature Bootcamp program. The goal is to find small-to-medium sized companies from across the state that are looking to bring a new product or service to the market. Those companies would come to Greer for two days of intense training and return to their home communities armed with new innovation strategies.
Thanks to the Department of Commerce for their generous support!
