SERVICES OFFERED

Specifically, beneficiaries have access to a technical and consultancy support path to:

• Verify the technical feasibility of the proposed solution;

• Test the main functionalities in a controlled environment;

• Gather useful evidence for design iterations, industrialisation, or presentations to potential investors;

• (In the case of the prototype) create a functional prototyping of a solution already validated in the initial phases.

The two services are distinguished by the degree of development of the solution:

• Proof of Concept (PoC): experimental activity aimed at demonstrating the technical feasibility of a design idea through the creation of a first simplified and testable version of the product or service. Service value: €40,000

• Prototype: a more advanced version closer to the final product, developed to simulate real use in concrete application contexts, useful for technical and functional validation. Service value: €70,000

HOW TO APPLY: an Expression of Interest is open until the number of interventions foreseen in the project is reached, in total for businesses two PoC services and one service for the creation of a Prototype.
