Webinar 21.08.2025From Project-Idea to Project-Implementation - Your Seedfunding Initiative
For all Helmholtz Researchers and interested Industry: Up to twelve months of seedfunding is waiting. Promising ideas for applied research have the chance of receiving up to 100,000 euros in seed funding through Hi-Acts.
Starting this year, the Hi-Acts platform makes 950,000 euros available annually to support Use Case Initiatives proposed by Helmholtz researchers – nearly double the previous yearly amount. In particular, Hi-Acts promotes projects that are developed in collaboration with industry or start-ups and that advance specific applications. So companies are encouraged to put forward their own initiatives or ideas for such collaborative projects and to join us in creating innovations together!
What are the Use Case Initiatives?
1Helmholtz partners in Hi-Acts are working in different groups to develop technological and analytical solutions that make accelerators easier to exploit for industrial needs: "Easier to use, with results that are easier to understand, more reliable and less cost-intensive."
One instrument for achieving these goals is the annual call for proposals for Hi-Acts Use Case Initiatives. This seed-funding measure aims to address current challenges facing industrial partners and seek short-term R&D or production solutions.
