The Idaho Global Entrepreneurial Mission will discuss deployment of grant money it receives from the Idaho Department of Commerce at a meeting Monday.

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 Idaho’s research universities to commercialize innovative and viable technologies.

The meeting runs from 7:30 a.m. to 8:30 a.m. at the Clearwater conference room in the Idaho Department of Commerce Boise headquarters, 700 W. State St.
