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.
