APRIL Commercialisation Projects

An APRIL Commercialisation Project addresses the issue where the path to market of a product, service or technology may be close and additional co-investment, that would commonly include other investors, may assist in bringing it to realisation.

There is no minimum or maximum funding limit, but a cash co-investment is required depending on the organisation’s participant level:

Membership Status                      Required Cash Contribution

Gold Participant                                          10%

Silver Participant                                         15%

Bronze Participant                                       20%

Ordinary Member                                         50%

Non-Participant                                            50%

All projects must include a cash contribution based on total project and facility funding. Please note APRIL funded research schemes cannot include indirect cost recovery or overheads.

Project duration is flexible and can be extended beyond 12-18 months, depending on your needs.

How to Apply:

The Commercialisation Project scheme is open year-round.
