Launch Tennessee‘s “Innovation Week” is underway in Music City.

The organization joined with Life Science Tennessee to host the annual “Day on the Hill” Tuesday where members and supporters visited with 50 state legislators to discuss the importance of the state’s innovation economy and also advocate for restoration of Launch Tennessee’s SBIR and STTR Matching Fund which was not included in the proposed FY25 state budget.
