EUROPA - COMMUNIQUES DE PRESSE - Communiqué de presse - From lab to market: 3 research projects that led to high-tech spin-offs
Today the European Women Innovator Award was awarded to Ana Maiques @ana_maiques. Ms Maiques said: "To be a top innovator, you have to be able to do cutting edge science – but also take it to market." (read her post on Vice President Neelie Kroes' blog).
This is exactly what she has done with her spin-off company Neuroelectrics @Neuroelectrics which develops revolutionary brain devices. This success story was made possible with investment from the European Union through the FET programme. Neuroelectrics has been created to commercialise technologies developed within the EU-funded project HIVE.
€2.7 billion for Future and Emerging Technologies (FET) under Horizon 2020
Research in the next generation of technologies is key for Europe’s competitiveness. This is why €2.7 billion will be invested in Future and Emerging Technologies (FET) under the new research programme Horizon 2020 #H2020 (2014-2020). This represents a nearly threefold increase in budget compared to the previous research programme, FP7. FET actions are part of the Excellent science pillar of Horizon 2020.
