Translating Excellence into Impact: Enrolment in the EU-funded WiderAdvance Facility

As the BRIDGE project converged toward its final implementation phase, the consortium successfully identified a focused portfolio of two Key Exploitable Results (KERs) positioned at TRL 4. These advanced methodologies include optimized room-temperature ozone sensors and sustainable, lead-free double perovskite platforms with high technological and societal potential in the breath diagnostics and environmental monitoring sectors.

To accelerate the academic-to-industry transition, FORTH has been enrolled in the prestigious, EU-funded WiderAdvance Facility. Through this initiative, our research team is receiving expert, advanced coaching in exploitation readiness, IP protection, standardization, and investor readiness, ensuring a credible pathway toward future commercial applications and market-ready solutions.
