Polski Instytut Badań i Rozwoju

Activity: the Polish Institute for Research and Development is implementing an investment program under the BRIdge Alpha program.

These activities include conducting technological and business analyses, realizing proof-of-concept, as well as negotiating with potential buyers of the technology in terms of its parameterization.

At what stage the project must be: the fund invests in the very early stage of the project already at the seed stage.

Amount of investment: the fund provides financial support in several stages. The first investment does not exceed PLN 100 thousand. Subsequent phases of the pre and incubation process may end with an investment of up to PLN 1 million.

Examples of investments: no capital inputs, the fund started at the end of 2016
