This webinar for wAF beneficiaries will comment the first stages in technology transfer-from TRL 6 to TRL8-9. What should the research team do to advance their technology and take it to the market? We will follow our biotech/biomed team with a promising drug candidate and other practical examples.

The webinar will answer:
  • Developing a functional prototype
  • Finding funds to advance the prototype: the European Innovation Center Calls and other public opportunities.
  • Backing the proposal with Letters of Intent of potential customers
  • From a functional prototype to a commercially qualified product:  Operational Environment, Certification and Qualification (CE Marking, ISO certification)
  • Commercial considerations before meeting investors: Manufacturing Readiness (MRL) and Supply Chain Security.
  • Preparing a pitch Deck and a Business Plan
  • Finding Investors: from the European Investment Bank to the Trusted Investors Network
  • Other final considerations
