Apart from the obvious cash injection, being awarded a Pre-Seed Grant sets the scene for creating a commercial platform for exploiting your research. The grant may be used to validate your research, perform (further) clinical or pre-clinical research, or to fund practical issues concerning starting up a company, such as acquiring knowledge on legal or IP aspects, or for technology transfer.
