Osceola County’s BRIDG at NeoCity Named as Finalist in NSF Regional Innovation Engines Competition, Could Bring $160 million

Osceola County’s NeoCity-based BRIDG could see up to $160 million come its way after The U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF) announced that it is one of the 16 finalists for its prestigious Regional Innovation Engines competition.

In September, Osceola County’s Technology Center NeoCity and its Coalition partners received $50.8 million from the Department of Commerce’s Economic Development Administration (EDA) to develop Central Florida’s semiconductor and microelectronics industry cluster. Established in accordance with the Biden Administration’s “CHIPS and Science Act,” the competition aims to foster innovation and collaborative technologydriven ecosystems across the nation. BRIDG’s inclusion as a finalist underscores NeoCity’s potential to become a leading innovation hub.

BRIDG is a not-for-profit, public-private partnership specializing in advanced system integration and packaging. NSF Engines will provide each awardee with approximately $15 million for the first two years, with the potential for up to $160 million over a 10-year period, subject to progress assessments.
