Call for Proposals 2023 Modality 3 - Call available only for pre-selected projects
VICEPRESIDENCY OF RESEARCH OF TECNOLÓGICO DE MONTERREY
The objective of the challenge is to generate applied basic research for Researchers within the model and to generate research outcomes (part of the evaluation). ONLY PRE-SELECTED TEAMS can participate.
The objectives of this call are:
- Encourage the development of science and technology-based projects aimed at solving problems or taking advantage of opportunities that result in technologies with differentiated intellectual property, aimed at the market, with proofs of concept/prototypes with technical and market relevance.
- Support project leaders to increase technological maturity, identify the market segment where it has more relevance, direct the development of the project, as well as generate a technological road map that integrates: Technological scaling, intellectual property, and business models for the creation of an EBCT (Empresa de Base Cientifico y Tecnológica: Science and Technology-Based New Venture).
- Establish the basis for a potential technology transfer, or the generation of an EBCT in liaison with the Technology Transfer Department.
- To educate project leaders about evidence-based entrepreneurship, technology scaling, and value and market discovery.
The call in its modality 3, invites the scientific-innovative community of the Tecnológico de Monterrey that have demonstrated disruptive solutions, either with physical prototypes or virtual prototypes (modeling/simulation) that are in TRL 4 stage, to submit their proposal and thus have the possibility of accessing the economic fund that allows the maturation of the technology and the development of the first MVP (Minimum Viable Product), in a period of 12 months.
ONLY PRE-SELECTED TEAMS can participate
Proposals that meet the requirements will be considered regardless of the amount of resources required, until the available funds are met. The committee may request adjustments to the budget if the proposal is selected.
The proponent and its work team, in case of being selected to receive the fund, commit to:
● Use the funding to scale the proposal to TRL5 level or higher in a maximum of 12 months according to the established work plan, with its respective iterations. In case of requiring more time, an extension may be requested to the Evaluation Committee justifying the reason, and the latter will determine whether to provide the extension, as well as the conditions of the same for a maximum of 6 more months.
● Participate in periodic progress meetings.
● Complete your work team.
● Generate relevant tests and/or prototypes according to the TRL level with results.
● Have results to notify your invention or have in process a patent application or registration of any intellectual property figure.
