Submitting a project
Procedure
A project goes through several stages, from idea to complete project application. In each stage, a number of criteria are used to assess to what extent the project is compatible with the cluster strategy and sufficiently mature for further development. The procedure makes it possible to guide the projects towards the best funding channel and improve the quality so as to increase the chance of success in receiving a subsidy. Projects making use of other funding channels and contributing to the roadmaps can also rely on assistance from Blue Cluster.
Conditions
Innovation projects should comply with certain conditions to be eligible for submission to Blue Cluster. Such conditions can pertain to the deadline for submission, the subject of the project (linked to the roadmaps) or the project type. The partners are equally subject to certain conditions if they wish to participate in a cluster project.
Innovation roadmaps
Blue Cluster has developed a roadmap for each of its focus areas that outlines the priorities for the next two years of operation. The roadmaps are used to assess submitted projects for their relevance to the cluster.
Submitting a cSBO 2-pager or presenting an idea
Project ideas can be presented to Blue Cluster at any given time. The purpose of this step is to determine whether a project qualifies as a a cluster project at an early stage. We will then help you further on your way.
It is currently not possible to submit cSBO projects.
