Scope of FET-open Innovation Launchpad
The FET-open Innovation Launchpad focusses on the non-scientific aspects and the early stages of turning a result of an ongoing or recently finished Future and Emerging Technologies (FET)-open project into a genuine innovation with socio-economic impacts. Proposals must build on the results from an ongoing or recently finished project.
Activities eligible for funding include:
- the definition of a commercialisation process;
- market and competitiveness analysis, technology assessment;
- verification of innovation potential;
- consolidation of intellectual property rights;
- business case development;
- limited low-risk technology development, for example for demonstration or testing, can be supported as well. However, its necessary role in the broader innovation strategy and plan needs to be clear.
Proposals can be submitted for activities in which, for example, the following partners are included:
- partners for technology transfer;
- licence-takers;
- investors and other sources of financing;
- societal organisations;
- or potential end-users.
