3. Marketing the idea • Good ideas are often not funded because they are not packaged well. • For every good idea that is funded, there are others that aren’t – not packaged well. • Improve the packaging! SSA CORE GTSD

13. PRGS Deadlines SSA CORE GTSD

14. PRGS: Introduction • PRGS is created to help bridge the gap between laboratory discovery/research to pre-commercialisationfor the creation of new technologies in line with the K-Economy and the New Economic Model. This includes proof of concept, evaluation, up-scaling, pre-clinical and field testing • Through research projects to be undertaken, the number of human capital and the number of research findings would be enhanced and in turn will greatly contribute to national development in research SSA CORE GTSD

15. PRGS Philosophy • Most prototypes produced by researches cannot be commercialized since it is still at the early stage of the process. • Therefore, PRGS is created to help bridge the gap between laboratory discovery/research to pre-commercialization for the creation of new technologies in line with the K-Economy and the New Economic Model. SSA CORE GTSD

16. DEFINITION • This prototype development is established to bridge the gap between laboratory/research discoveries to pre-commercialization. • This includes proof of concept, evaluation, up-scaling, pre-clinical testing and field testing. RESEARCH AREAS • Open to all research areas with output that requires Prototype Development. SSA CORE GTSD
