Modality A. Llavor: Grants for innovative projects with the potential for being incorporated into the production sector
The grants are intended for innovative projects that are in the initial phase of conceptualizing a plan for technology or knowledge transfer and generating value for society.
The objective of the grants is to finance the actions outlined in the plan to study and/or validate the technical and commercial feasibility, and to achieve a sufficient level of maturity to confidently undertake the proof of concept or service validation phase. The expected level of technical and commercial maturity upon project completion corresponds to the conclusion of the conceptualization phase of the transfer plan, based on the collected evidence or the feedback from potential customers, users, or beneficiaries. This will allow for the identification of a candidate product or service to be developed during the proof of concept phase, as well as a value generation proposal based on the proposed technology or knowledge.
This procedure must only be done by internet
