The UKRI Proof of Concept funding opportunity aims to support and accelerate the development of new or improved technologies, products, processes, and services arising from research activities at eligible UK research organisations (e.g. universities, research institutes, facilities and centres).
The UKRI Proof of Concept funding opportunity supports early-to-mid stage commercialisation activities that validate the development of concepts that arose from research. This is to support and enable the commercial application of existing research along varied commercialisation pathways such as licensing or company creation (spinouts or social ventures) or any other commercialisation routes.
This video is the recording of the webinar presented by the UKRI commercialisation team about the funding opportunity and includes some of the questions asked during the webinar.
