The
Vogt Invention and Innovation Award is a $5 million endowment
left by Henry Vogt Heuser to help inventors and innovators develop
their products and ideas. Up to $250,000 is available per year.
The primary purpose of this award is to memorialize the Vogt
tradition
of innovation in Louisville and to give selected recipients the
recognition and financial support they need to commercialize
their product.
Newly launched in 2006, the Vogt Development Awards provide a 2:1
matching grant, with up to $10,000 awarded, to local entrepreneurs
and inventors to assist them in hiring professional assistance to
achieve a needed milestone early in the development stage.

The
Vogt Award is a program of the Community Foundation of Louisville
and The Enterprise Corporation. It is intended to recognize
excellence in product innovation and inspire inventors to see
their ideas
reach full potential. |
