FTI PILOT GUIDE 2016-2017
Accelerate the commercialization process
Provide bottom-up funding for projects close to market
Projects in any field under the specific objective “Leadership in enabling and industrial technologies”
Specific objectives under the priority “Societal Challenges”
Allows innovation actors to work together to deliver innovation onto the market and society
Nurtures transdisciplinary and cross-sectoral cooperation
FTI Objectives
FTIPilot-01-2016 Deadline: 15 March 2016
The FTI pilot supports projects undertaking innovation from the demonstration stage through to market uptake
It targets relatively mature new technologies and concepts that need a last development step to reach the market and achieve wider deployment (e.g.
Technology Readiness Level (TLR) at least 6)
Scope of the program
It has the potential to change the dynamic of the market and possibly to address a societal challenge
Show the added value of your idea and explain why it is viable and better than existing solutions. While, highlighting opportunities
You must demonstrate that you understand the risks
Competencies of your proposal
Generate revenues and create jobs. Explain the market conditions and the evolution of the competition
Provide concrete and realistic figures: On the market size, the market share, the sales price
Show at least 3 years of projection of sales volume, turnover and number of jobs created. Do not forget to describe your commercialisation plan
A key aspect to remember is that you have to demonstrate that your project has a European or international dimension
If targeted at a national market, it won’t be supported by the SME Instrument. The protection of intellectual property is very important and must be explained
Demonstrate that your proposal will::
A catchy title
An attractive abstract
You have 10 pages to present your plan, use them
Each of the evaluators will look at 3 criteria: impact, excellence, and implementation
Make sure your proposal is well balanced and covers all the aspects for each evaluation criteria
Your proposal should have:
Describe both technical and commercial competence
The credibility of your team and of your work plan
Describe how you will organize your team and, if you intend to use external partners to bring competences that you don't have in your company
Project should fit into a realistic time frame
Implementation
