Commercialization Support (Komercializācijas atbalsts)

Provides High-value grants for scientific institutions and businesses to develop commercially viable products and technologies.

LIAA's Commercialization Support programme backs scientific institutions and businesses that want to turn research into commercially viable products or technologies. It is one of LIAA's higher-value innovation lines and sits alongside export and startup support in the same agency, which makes it a natural landing point for technology-transfer projects that are ready to move beyond the lab. The programme covers commercialisation strategy, technical-economic feasibility studies, industrial research, experimental development, IP protection, product design, certification services, licensing, and participation in international exhibitions or trade missions. The total envelope is €11.9 million, and the last call opened on 15 September 2025 before closing early on 13 October 2025 after demand crossed the 30% threshold. That timing puts the programme between cycles, with the next opening still to come. This route suits institutions and companies that can package research into a concrete commercial case and move quickly once a call opens. The strongest applications are likely to combine clear technical work with a path to market, because the funding is aimed at products or technologies that can be carried from development into exploitation rather than left as isolated research outputs.
