Obvious technical and business risks. Further development of existing products or processes by combining marketable purchased parts (no technical risk) is not permitted, as well as topics that merely represent the implementation of legal obligations and aesthetic product modifications (e. g. design, colouring, styling).
Investors love prototypes
You are a start-up company with an innovative product idea and you need capital for development up to series production?
Especially for start-ups, tech-solute® develops and builds "intelligently trimmed down" and thus affordable yet convincing MVP and prototypes.
To ensure that this is done as cost-efficiently as possible, we use the go-Inno subsidy.
