Across 34 manufacturing companies with grant rounds in the table, the largest disclosed award is PhiX at $20M (2022-07-28). That $20M figure stands far above the next-largest disclosed amounts, which include SkyWater Technology’s $15M (2022-07-29), Gilmour Space Technologies’ $15M (2022-05-09), and Norton Motorcycles’ $21M is actually higher at $21M (2022-06-17) while still leaving most other disclosed grants in the $60K–$2M band. Many awards cluster in mid-2022: from 2022-06-03 through 2022-07-29, there are 10 entries with disclosed amounts where given (e.g., X-Bow Launch Systems $420K on 2022-06-03; SkyWater $15M on 2022-07-29; PhiX $20M on 2022-07-28). Geography is split between the US and UK/EU, with repeated US states such as Massachusetts (Aquagga in Tacoma? no; but Catalyst Connection in Pittsburgh, Alcoa in Pittsburgh, and multiple in Massachusetts) and multiple UK entries (Norton Motorcycles, Autins, Logidot). The disclosed amounts range down to $40K (AIMM on 2022-04-21), while three rows are explicitly undisclosed (including a 2022-10-19 grant tied to North Andover, MA).

Frequently asked
What’s the largest disclosed grant here, and how far ahead is it of other disclosed rounds?
Norton Motorcycles is the top disclosed round at $21M (2022-06-17). The next-largest disclosed amounts visible are $20M for PhiX (2022-07-28) and $15M for both SkyWater Technology (2022-07-29) and Gilmour Space Technologies (2022-05-09), while most other disclosed grants are well below $10M (for example $8M for Alcoa on 2022-04-04 and several $500K rounds on 2022-03-07).
Do grants cluster around a specific time window in the most recent period shown?
Yes. Between 2022-06-03 and 2022-07-29 there are 10 entries dated in that span (e.g., Green Theme Technologies $60K on 2022-06-03; X-Bow Launch Systems $420K on 2022-06-03; Norton Motorcycles $21M on 2022-06-17; PhiX $20M on 2022-07-28; SkyWater Technology $15M on 2022-07-29). Outside that band, many entries land in earlier 2022 months such as March ($100K/$500K group) and April ($40K–$8M group).
Are any locations or countries noticeably over-represented?
The UK appears more than once: Norton Motorcycles (Derby) on 2022-06-17, Autins (Rugby) on 2021-12-22, and Logidot (London) on 2021-11-01. The US is also recurring through multiple cities/states in different entries (e.g., Massachusetts shows several grants including Catalyst Connection’s $5M on 2022-09-02 and Fortify’s undisclosed grant on 2022-07-19), but the list isn’t dominated by a single metro area.
What does the disclosed-vs-undisclosed pattern look like?
Three of the 34 rows show 'undisclosed' amounts: 6K (2022-10-19, North Andover, Massachusetts), PLAEX Building Systems (2022-08-14, Hampstead, New Brunswick), and Fortify (2022-07-19, Boston, Massachusetts). Every other row provides a dollar amount (e.g., Aquagga $850K on 2022-10-14; Hypetex $140K on 2022-07-14).
Is there a low-end outlier among disclosed grants?
AIMM’s $40K (2022-04-21, Dayton, Ohio) is the smallest disclosed amount in the table. That low-end sits far below the cluster of mid-range grants such as $100K rounds for multiple entries on 2022-03-25 (Tandem Repeat and Werewool, both $100K) and several $500K rounds dated 2022-03-07 (ALMACO, Art's Way Manufacturing Co., Deco Products, and Schebler).
