CTI pays the participating researchers’ salaries. The industrial partner finances its own expenditure, and makes a cash contribution to research. Contributions from industry cover project-related expenditure: setting up facilities, licences and any equipment used for research purposes.
Where it makes sense, CTI provides funding for:
- feasibility studies to define project aims and the relevant processes in concrete terms
- coordination of joint projects involving several SMEs
- measures to disseminate project results.
CTI Start-up
CTI provides business coaches and experts from various backgrounds during the start-up phase. The coaching process runs in three clearly structured phases to the CTI Start-up Label. The project partners invest time and effort for 6 to 18 months, but no money: CTI Start-up assumes all the costs.
