Objective
The objective of the program is to support through financing, guidance and networking, for the implementation of activities and the achievement of results such as:
- confirming the effectiveness of the idea and transforming it into a final product through experimental testing, prototyping, etc.
- conducting research required to implement the above activities and address the weaknesses arising from them.
- ensuring sustainability, resolving technical issues and defining a general direction.
- defining a strategy for protecting property rights or transferring know-how.
- involving industrial partners, social or cultural organizations, policy makers, or any other potential stakeholders that support innovative entrepreneurship.
- assessing potential “end users” of the developing innovation.
