ResearchNB’s Lab to Market fund supports the advancement of innovations to real-world applications. This includes projects where a technology has a strong potential for commercialization, or address a specific need identified by a knowledge translation partner. The fund is intended to help build collaborative projects where input from knowledge transfer partners can influence the development of a technology and its implementation. Suitable projects will develop technologies that have achieved a sufficient level of development (TRL>3), should include a plan for creating and protecting intellectual property, HQP participation, a preliminary market, and a commercialization or knowledge transfer partner. ResearchNB will fund up to 33% of projects with NB SMEs or not-for-profit organizations, and up to 25% of projects that do not have NB SMEs or not-for-profit organizations as partners.
