Validation support: Procedure

The purpose of this measure is to accelerate the introduction and dissemination of modern technologies and services in industry and society in order to increase the competitiveness of the Bavarian economy and ensure appropriate economic growth. The funding measure is implemented via corresponding calls in which thematic priorities are set where appropriate. The review panel of the Bavarian Research and Innovation Agency (BayFIA), which is made up of experts from the Bavarian Patent Alliance (BayPAT), the Bavarian Research Alliance (BayFOR) and Bayern Innovativ (BI), takes on this task and prepares a proposal for the decision by the StMWi. Project proposals can be submitted within the respective calls for funding. The selection takes place as part of a competitive process. In principle, one call for funding is planned per year.

The last funding call was active from 03.02.2025 to 10.03.2025. A new funding call is planned for the beginning of 2026.
