Promotion of the validation of research results and inventions
The Bavarian program to promote the validation of research results and inventions (validation program) aims to validate technological innovations in order to transfer their potential to industrial research. The purpose of this measure is to accelerate the introduction and dissemination of modern technologies and services in the economy and society in order to increase the competitiveness of the Bavarian economy and ensure appropriate economic growth.
The validation program supports the qualification of promising research results and inventions. Projects for the research and development of technologically new or significantly improved products, production processes and knowledge-based services can be supported with the aim of technologically securing future utilization. Utilization is understood to mean technological and economic viability, in particular the transfer to industrial research.
The validation program supports projects with up to 100% of eligible expenditure, i.e. personnel and material costs.
The program is implemented via calls for funding, in which thematic priorities are set where appropriate. Project outlines can be submitted within the respective deadlines. The selection is made in a competitive process.
The last funding call was active from 03.02.2025 to 10.03.2025.
The next funding call is planned for the beginning of 2026.
