States offer SBIR assistance and matching to assist local businesses and the state economy, ensuring that their own residents and constituents have ample opportunity for innovation funding. These states are perhaps more attractive to small businesses involved with innovation, which is promising for all residents of the state who stand to benefit from the economic boost, and the advantages of attracting entrepreneurs and start-ups to the state.
