SFI/EI Technology Innovation Development Award (TIDA) Programme 2017

The TIDA is an SFI programme designed to enable researchers to focus on the initial stages of an applied research project which may have a commercial benefit if further developed. The TIDA programme enables researchers to demonstrate the technical feasibility of an applied research project directed toward the development of a new or innovative technology, product, process or service that has potential for further commercial development. In the context of supporting researchers who wish to pursue the commercialisation of a technology, TIDA offers a number of important features:

• Validation by independent international peer review process
• €100k in project funding for technology development
• Entrepreneurship and commercialisation training
