From idea to funded innovation

Bringing research and innovation to the next level requires careful planning and the right resources. We support you throughout the process, from IP and validation to funding, enabling your project to develop in a structured and sustainable way.

Innovation Funding Process

IP strategy

We support you in identifying the novelty and uniqueness of your idea through comprehensive novelty searches and patent landscape analyses. Based on this, we help define a clear IP strategy, support patent processes, and provide ready-to-use legal agreement templates such as NDAs, CDAs, and MTAs to ensure secure collaborations.

Validation

We help determine your Technology Readiness Level (TRL) and guide you through relevant validation pathways. Through access to SciLifeLab platforms and other test beds, you can verify your solution in the right environment. We also support the development of regulatory roadmaps and connect you with specialized technical consultants to strengthen your project.

Innovation funding

We guide you in identifying and applying for relevant funding opportunities, including ERC Proof of Concept (PoC), KAW PoC, Cancer Foundation grants, Vinnova programs, Novo Nordisk funding, EIC opportunities, and other sources such as Formas. Our support ensures you are well-positioned to secure funding aligned with your project’s maturity and goals.
