Part 6: Maximising Your Chances for Demonstration Funding

Struggling to move from successful R&D to a funded demonstration? This practical session will help CETP projects understand how to design demonstrations that attract funders, partners, and future investors.

You’ll explore what makes a project fundable — how to prove that your demo is not only technically sound but also credible, scalable, and investment-ready.

Agenda Highlights:

• What Funders and Investors Look For: Learn how public, corporate, and blended funding bodies assess demonstrations and upscaling proposals.

• From Technical Proof to Market Proof: Discover how to use your demo to show feasibility, value creation, and readiness for scale-up.

• Interactive Self-Assessment: Test your project’s “fundability” and identify the next steps to strengthen your demonstration plan.

• Practical Guidance: Get clear, hands-on advice on how to present your project convincingly to potential funders and partners.

Whether you are a researcher, SME, or industry partner, this session will help you bridge the gap between innovation and implementation — and boost your chances of turning your results into real-world demonstrations.
