Description
This grant from the Research Council of Norway provides funding to cover participation fees for the REACH incubator programme, a Silicon Valley-based initiative designed to accelerate the commercialisation of Norwegian research projects and technology-based spinouts. The REACH programme offers hands-on training, expert mentoring, workshops, and immersion in the Silicon Valley ecosystem, helping participants validate market potential, refine value propositions, and build international networks. The grant supports projects aiming to transition from research to market, reducing commercialisation risk and providing access to global expertise.
