How will it help me? Apart from the obvious cash injection, being awarded a Pre-Seed Grant sets the scene for creating a commercial platform for exploiting your research. The grant may be used to validate your research, perform (further) clinical or pre-clinical research, or to fund practical issues concerning starting up a company, such as acquiring knowledge on legal or IP aspects, or for technology transfer. The final objective is to ensure there is an effective and powerful business plan in place, making the new company viable, profitable and attractive to possible further investors. What next?
