• Are the rights to the innovation secured?
• Have you clarified IP issues and can you submit an FTO analysis with the full application?
• Do you have a strong commercialisation strategy and are you committed to it?
• Is your innovation scalable?
• Are investors interested in your innovation?
• Are you open to external capital?
• Can you convincingly demonstrate the “need for European Union support"?
• Is your company pursuing a growth strategy?
