Innovation Grant Highlights Advancements in Structural Components

Leading Suppliers Council
Published

The Structural Building Components Association (SBCA), a member of NAHB’s Leading Suppliers Council, recently announced the return of the SBCA Innovation Grant for 2024.

The grant was created to encourage individuals and companies to share their ideas and solutions at SBCA’s annual Building Component Manufacturers Conference (BCMC) to highlight advancements within the structural components industry.

Grant recipients will receive booth space on the show floor at BCMC, giving them the opportunity to showcase their solution(s) to more than 2,000 potential customers within the industry. They will also receive exhibit passes for the entirety of BCMC 2024.

One of SBCA’s key initiatives is to focus on attracting, encouraging and recognizing innovators in the structural building component manufacturing and offsite construction industry. Last year, 27 submissions were reviewed and narrowed down to the top applicant. But for 2024, SBCA has made it possible for multiple Innovation Grants to be awarded.

If there are multiple SBCA Innovation Grants winners, BCMC attendees will have the opportunity to vote on which innovation they believe should win the title of SBCA’s People’s Choice Solution for 2024.

The application period is now open until 11:59 p.m. PT on May 1, 2024. The grant winner(s) will be notified on May 20, 2024.
