A number of funds and sources of funding exist to potentially support the commercialization of biomaterials and market development. Generally, eligibility criteria are different for each fund. For example, funding eligibility could depend on a number of various factors:
- Nature and scale of the project
- Benefits/expected results of the project
- Innovation
- Sector or industry focus
- Co-financing or other investor support
This site does not constitute an exhaustive list of the funding availabile. Our aim is to help with the first step of identifying possible sources for project funding and to provide some general information.
