This competition is organised in 3 phases:

Phase 1 - successful applicants will receive funding of up to €60,000 to carry out feasibility studies / solution development projects lasting 6 months;

Phase 2 - successful companies from phase 1 will receive funding of up to €105,700 to develop prototypes of their proposed solutions;

Phase 3 - successful companies from phase 2 will receive funding of up to €930,000 to develop their solutions at scale in Northern Ireland and Italy.
