DE Incubation Fund application form - step 1 Name project*Name applicant*Email applicant*What is the problem?*F.e. “The gearboxes of wind turbines can be significantly damaged by the gusts of wind putting a temporary strain on the hardware. This leads to a fivefold increase of maintenance costs of the turbines compared to steady winds.”What is your solution?*F.e. “We have developed software that adapts the blade rotation angle to the predicted wind patterns. These patterns are based on the micro predictions through the InterMet system.”Does your solution originate from research of the TU Delft? If so, please explain and also specify if the research was funded by EU subsidy.*F.e. “The software was developed in our research group at the Faculty of 3mE. The research was EU funded (project WiMaSys, short for Wind Management Systems, EU project 12345X in Cordis).”Can or is the described solution (be) protected (patent, trade secret, etc.)?*F.e. “We have an agreement on the data around the meteorological patterns from KNMI. The software we have developed is closed source with access by the EU project partners only. We are not aware of the options of patents at this stage.”I understand the funding available is specifically aimed to test the commercial validity of my technology* Yes No I am available in the short term to discuss my project with an Investment Manager* Yes No I am willing and able to develop a complete proposal if I am invited to do so* Yes No CAPTCHA
