Our experts from FFG, aws and the State of Salzburg (represented by Innovation Salzburg) will share valuable insights from their advisory practice and explain how to best refine your project idea to fit the appropriate funding structure.

Hear first-hand how to approach your project strategically, understand the difference between genuine technical development and mere implementation, and learn how to avoid the notorious “premature project start.” Together, we will take a closer look at typical pitfalls and explain in practical terms how to correctly interpret the requirements of different funding programmes from the very beginning.

Expect no dry lecture, but insider tips and honest answers to help you submit a successful application.
