The purpose of this call
is to promote increased commercial exploitation and/or societal innovation from research carried out by publicly funded research organisations, by maturing and validating new technologies and innovations with clear novelty value and application potential.
Projects must build on results from research carried out by publicly funded research organisations, where the innovation represents a technological breakthrough or significant improvements compared to existing knowledge or solutions, and has the potential to form the basis for new products, processes or services.
A verification project must clarify the most critical questions and uncertainties based on the project's current maturity, thereby enabling the next step toward market uptake or other societal exploitation.
