Proof-of-concept (PoC) programmes can play a relevant role in bridging the gap between research outputs and market-ready innovations. This webinar explores how PoC funding can de-risk early-stage technologies, strengthen commercialisation strategies, and accelerate industry engagement. Using the University of Cambridge’s Technology Investment Fund as a case study, we will examine governance models, selection criteria, funding structures, and impact metrics. The session aims to provide practical insights on the design, implementation, and impact of PoC programmes.
Fruitful discussion.
