CeADAR Accelerate – Leveraging Funding for Collaborative R&D with the CeADAR Centre

Does your business have an idea for a new product or service that will need R&D support to reach its full potential? Did you know that working with CeADAR you can have large multi-person, multi-year collaborative R&D projects executed for as little as 20% of their direct costs? This is just one of the many leveraged funding opportunities that are open to SMEs and multinationals who want to engage in collaborative R&D with CeADAR.

The range of funding possibilities and easy of engagement usually surprise companies, so on the morning of Thursday September 26th, the CeADAR centre will host a breakfast briefing for you on the many funding vehicles that are available to you, and the simple steps that you can take now to leverage them.

We have a packaged energetic schedule planned for the morning with presentations from Adrian Lacey, CEO of Tanco Enginering, and Kevin O’Leary, VP of Product Management at Corlytics, on their own experiences with a number of funding instruments. We will also be joined by the key funders who are there to answer your questions on funding levels, IP, and the oppertunities that exist for your business.

We hope you can join us for what will be an exciting and informative event.
