New Product and Technology Development in Competence Centres (Kompetences centru pētniecības projekti)

The main route for a Latvian manufacturer to co-fund applied R&D with a research partner. Companies apply to the competence centre for their sector — IT, electrical and optical equipment, food, mechanical engineering, forestry and others — rather than to CFLA directly. Projects must sit between TRL 4 and TRL 8 and result in a new product or technology entering production. Recent calls were explicitly targeted at green products.

1. Describe the idea. Company name and a few sentences about the project — registration number and sector are fetched from the registry.
2. Check your chances. Granteon assesses the project against the criteria in New Product and Technology Development in Competence Centres (Kompetences centru pētniecības projekti) and tells you honestly whether it can be won — before you write.
3. Write the application. The AI writes from your own facts, scores the draft like an award committee, and delivers it field by field within the portal's character limits.
4. Complete the financing. Your own contribution is calculated. You can obtain a signed conditional commitment from an investor, and find consortium partners when the call requires them.
5. Deliver and report. Reporting plan, draft reports and budget tracking after the award — until the final report is filed.
