Verifisering: Kommersialisering av forskning ved offentlig finansierte forskningsorganisasjoner 2026

This call aims to contribute to the commercialization and societal impact of research results by maturing and validating new technologies and innovations from early phase to relevant application environments. The funding supports publicly funded research organizations, Technology Transfer Offices (TTOs), and startup companies originating from approved research organizations. The purpose is to mature and validate new technologies and innovations with clear novelty and application potential, building on research results from publicly funded research organizations where the innovation represents a technological breakthrough or significant improvements compared to existing knowledge or solutions. Verification projects should clarify the most critical questions and uncertainties based on the project's current maturity level, enabling the next step toward market or other societal utilization. The call is open to all subject areas and aims to reduce risk and uncertainty in the pre-commercial phase.
