Warwick Innovations Proof of Concept Fund
Funds rapid proof-of-concept tests for Warwick researchers ready to move ideas toward commercialization.
Warwick Innovations manages an internally-administered Proof of Concept fund that supports early-stage research with commercial potential. The fund is described as 'quick and easy to access' and provides 'catalytic change in the commercialisation potential of a research outcome.' Access is through a researcher's Warwick Innovations Business Development Manager, not through a public application portal. This is strictly an intramural instrument — eligibility is limited to projects already registered with Warwick Innovations, and therefore to Warwick University researchers only. No amounts or deadlines are published. External researchers, companies, and non-Warwick universities cannot apply.
Each grant below is a distinct funding opportunity with its own eligibility, scope, and deliverables.
