Startup TRL 7-9

Helps Commercialization-Ready Tech Startup Program for market transition and scale-up support.

Startup 2025 TRL 7-9 is the largest ticket in the Agencia Nacional de Promoción de la Investigación, el Desarrollo Tecnológico y la Innovación's startup suite. It is aimed at Argentine technology companies whose products are already demonstrated or qualified in an operational environment, so the program sits at the commercialization end of the agency's startup pipeline. The route is meant to help teams finish market entry rather than prove the underlying science. The program provides up to USD 500,000 equivalent in reimbursable contributions and covers up to 70% of project cost, with 30% counterpart funding from the company. Repayment runs at 120% of principal over 10 years in stepped installments, with a three-year grace period. Eligible startups must be no more than seven years old, and the expected deliverables include a product validated in the real world, a commercialization strategy, and signed transfer agreements. This route fits firms that already have external validation and now need larger capital to finish deployment. The strongest proposals usually combine a clear market case, transfer pathways, and a realistic repayment plan, because the state capital is being used to close a commercialization gap rather than to explore the technology. Companies that can show operational proof and a credible sales path are the natural candidates.
