An Act establishing the Abigail Adams entrepreneurial program for women

This bill establishes the Abigail Adams Center for Women in STEM, a new program within Massachusetts' business development framework. It directly supports women working in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) professions by providing grants for startup costs, small business incubators, entrepreneurial training, networking, business planning, and market research. The center will collaborate with existing agencies like the Massachusetts Technology Collaborative and the Office of Business Development to offer these services. The program aims to create more favorable opportunities for women in STEM to transition from laboratory work into commercial business leadership roles.
