SME inno­va­ti­ve: Pho­to­nics and Quan­tum Tech­no­lo­gies

This pro­gram­me aims to streng­then the inno­va­ti­on poten­ti­al of small and medi­um-sized enter­pri­ses (SMEs) in the field of cut­ting-edge rese­arch and to make rese­arch fun­ding more attrac­ti­ve, espe­ci­al­ly for SMEs sub­mit­ting their first appli­ca­ti­ons. For this reason, the call for fun­ding was desi­gned to be open to all topics. Important fun­ding cri­te­ria are excel­lence, degree of inno­va­ti­on, eco­no­mic explo­ita­bi­li­ty, and the signi­fi­can­ce of the con­tri­bu­ti­on to sol­ving cur­rent soci­al­ly rele­vant issues. With this fun­ding mea­su­re, the BMBF sup­ports indus­tri­al pre-com­pe­ti­ti­ve R&D pro­jects to impro­ve the inno­va­ti­ve capa­ci­ty of SMEs in Ger­ma­ny. Fur­ther infor­ma­ti­on on the fun­ding call can be found here.
