The Proof of Concept programme supports the pre-commercialisation of leading-edge technologies emerging from Northern Ireland’s universities. The financial assistance provided by the programme helps researchers to export their ideas and inventions from the laboratory to the global marketplace.
The objective of the Proof of Concept programme is to increase the level and quality of commercialisation from within Northern Ireland’s universities through the provision of funding for early stage development activity. Applicants must demonstrate that their ideas have originality and true commercial potential.
The Proof of Concept programme is now open for applications. The deadline for receipt of applications is 29 February 2008. Application guidelines and application form can be downloaded below:
All applications must be submitted through the University’s Commercialisation Office.
