Exposure to new knowledge: The cooperation exposes the companies to new knowledge and allows collaborative R&D in ways that otherwise would not have been implemented.

Solid ground for development: Long-term financial support, exemption from repayment of royalties, supply of the necessary equipment and creation of collaborations between leading industrial companies and academia serve as an expedient and solid framework for developing breakthrough technologies.

No royalties: The companies participating in this incentive program are exempt from paying royalties for repayment of grant funds transferred to them through the consortium.
