Project involving the engineering sciences, based in Wallonia, with innovative or protected technology.

The project can be submitted by a university or research centre, typically (but not limited to) through DG06 (FSO) financing, or by technopreneurs.

They are more at the idea stage but at least have a prototype and potential major client, i.e. a minimum MatMaX® (3.3).

The company must have been founded in the last five years.

WSL reviews (at its cost) four clearly defined fields: the intellectual property, market, technology and quality of the team. If that assessment, which gives a comprehensive overview of the project’s maturity (MatMaX©), is positive, and WSL is confident that it can provide added value, the project is then presented to the selection committee, comprising WSL Board members and partners (local investors, experts, etc.). In the case of spinoff projects, however, which are often at a very early stage, some of these approvals can be postponed.

The recommendations are then submitted to the Board’s approval, which remains independent.

The WSL Board comprises representatives of Wallonia and, in most cases, industry representatives via the clusters, as well as universities and research centres.

The partnership lasts three years, twice renewable for one year. In the specific case of spinoffs, the partnership initially lasts five years.
