Products “made by NASA”? Martian Rover is not the only one. CMOS image sensors, dust busters, memory foam, freeze-dried food. These are just a few products also “invented” by NASA. One of the best known US government-based agencies, together with DARPA (Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency), had a great impact on the global development of technology. What is the role of governmental agencies in innovation support system? How to take advantage of the innovation-oriented policy and public funding towards the R&D sector in Poland?
National Centre for Research and Development, who paves the way and introduces new R&D funding schemes, uses all means necessary to create great opportunities for R&D projects and startups. These include schemes such as CVC and VC funds, totaling ca. PLN 4B for investments and problem-driven research programmes. Are you ready unicorns-to-be?
