About
The organisation supports startups with research and development funding to create new technologies. It awards approximately 200 million dollars annually to small businesses across various science and technology sectors. Successful applicants receive non-dilutive seed capital for early-stage product development without giving up equity. The programme focuses on technologies based on discoveries in fundamental science and engineering. These grants help to de-risk technology for commercial success.
