Case Studies
Identified and prioritized funding mechanisms for national RDI programs
Under its mandate, a major public sector player sought to maximize the efficiency of the fund allocation for RDI activities. Therefore, during the engagement, our team aimed to:
Identify and prioritize key mechanisms for funding RDI
Map them to different TRLs, identify outputs, impacts, and key related players
Develop a funding framework that outlines the organization's global approach to RDI spending
Design pilots to test selected mechanisms
Identified and prioritized funding mechanisms for national RDI programs
Our team used the following approach:
Do a benchmark and literature analysis of 30+ effective RDI funding mechanisms across the globe
Prioritize mechanisms based on market potential, flexibility, multiplication, impact, flexibility and risk-sharing
Map mechanisms with TRLs and stakeholder contribution
Design roadmaps for pilot projects
Identify tools for monitoring and evaluating mechanisms effectiveness
Create RDI funding framework
