Patras Science Park - one of ten CERN-recognized Business Incubation Centres (BICs) – launched its Proof of Concept (PoC) Program in November 2018 to enable the transfer of cutting-edge Greek research from the lab into the global marketplace. With support of up to €50,000 each for up to 10 projects per year, the Patras PoC Program empowers young scientists looking to convert research-based technologies into a commercial product. By forging a pathway for Greece’s most innovative research to be developed into globally-viable commercial innovation, the Patras PoC Program represents a key step forward for the country’s knowledge economy.
IdealityRoads has served on the Advisory Board of the PoC since its founding. IdealityRoads has been closely involved in developing the program’s strategy, with a focus on addressing the needs of globally-oriented, science-based startups in their very earliest stages of development. This ongoing advisory, as well IdealityRoads’ membership on the PoC’s project selection committee, has helped Patras Science Park realize its vision to foster success stories in Greek research commercialization.
Applications to the PoC are accepted year-round and reviewed every six months. For more information, or to apply for the next round of PoC funding: http://www.psppoc.gr/
