Focus Areas by State
Cohort 2 is sector-agnostic overall — every field is welcome to apply. This page will carry each state’s specific problem statements and priority sectors, developed the same way Cohort 1’s were: through desk research and input from government, private sector, CSOs, sector experts, and innovation hubs.
