PPP & Pre-booked Projects
Advantages – in addition to then projectto Industrial Partner with > $10,000 contribution•Access to non- booked technologies developed in EMK•Access to the Network •Access to workshopsTo Researcher•Access to the Network •Access to workshops•Eligibility to participate in open call
Preliminary Pre-booked Projects
Known as “PPP”

The Purpose of PPP is to introduce Private Sector Participants to EMK
PPP /Pre-booked Projects Difference
Approvals• PPP abbreviated approval process• Pre-booked Full approval process
Both calls are “open for business”
University information sessions being scheduled
Industrial Member IP Benefits
