What is Impact Innovation about?
The funding can be used for intensive problem analysis, for generating solution ideas, and even for developing the solution itself.
Have you identified a problem for which there is no suitable solution yet? With Impact Innovation, the FFG supports you in finding or testing new ideas. Everyone affected by the problem should be involved in finding a solution. You can submit your application right at the beginning - even before you know exactly what the solution should look like. Funding is available regardless of the topic or industry.
