ITIDA | ITAC Collaborative Funded Projects

Collaborative Funded Projects, one of ITAC’s programs, move a product concept out of the ideas shed, through the proof-of-concept and prototyping stages, until it turns into a complete product ready to hit the market.Opening and closing points of each project can be defined as follows:Proof-of-concept is the solid work published by the applicants in a journal, a patent owned by the applicants, or promising preliminary results of the proposed research or methodology.Prototype is a working but not necessarily complete product. It may still need additional rese​arch for improving its output, lack some features, or need customization for specific applications.Final product should satisfy all specifications of a commercial product and should be ready to bring to market by the end of PDP period.
