“Results matter when they reach the market.”
We support the translation of RDI results into real-world applications, business opportunities and scalable solutions — across the full journey from early research to market adoption.
What’s included
Knowledge valorisation (early exploitation) — helping research-based projects build problem–solution fit and societal adoption pathways.
Project chaining — connecting successive projects so that results, partnerships and momentum carry forward.
Ecosystem learning — structured peer learning that turns individual project insights into shared ecosystem intelligence.
Lab-to-market support — helping TRL4+ projects plan exploitation, test markets, meet stakeholders and build pathways to adoption.
Market shaping and transition trends — working with regulators, buyers, system operators and investors to remove adoption bottlenecks.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
A project is typically a single multi-partner consortium with one funding decision. A programme is a larger structure — a portfolio of projects, an ecosystem or a large multi-year initiative — with its own governance, strategy and impact ambition. We offer support for both.
Both.
No. CLIC owners and associate partners receive preferred terms.
Primarily EU programmes and Business Finland programmes.
Our core themes are bioeconomy, circular economy, and future energy systems. However, many of our projects and initiatives span multiple themes, reflecting the interconnected nature of today’s sustainability challenges.
As early as possible — ideally at the design stage.
Yes, at any TRL stage.
