Our Knowledge Transfer Service, together with the Research Management Service, has once again played an active role in the 2025–2027 call for funding from the Valencian Innovation Agency (AVI) (IVACE+i Innovación), aimed at strengthening and developing the Valencian Innovation System.

These grants, promoted by the Valencian Innovation Agency, support strategic initiatives focused on the valorisation of R&D results, collaboration between science and business, and the promotion of talent to transform the Valencian Community’s productive model.

Projects submitted under the 2025–2027 call

In this edition, we submitted a total of 26 projects, distributed as follows:

• 12 projects under Line 1: Valorisation, Transfer and Exploitation of R&D Results, within the Programme for the Valorisation and Transfer of Results to Businesses.
• 1 project under Line 2: Strengthening Scientific Units for Technology Development and Knowledge Dissemination to Businesses.
• 1 project under Line 1: Innovation Agents, within the Talent Promotion Programme.
• 12 projects under the Strategic Collaborative Projects scheme.

Total funding requested: €5,535,836.52

Comparison with the previous call (2024–2026)

In the 2024–2026 call, a similar total number of projects was submitted under the valorisation and talent schemes, although Line 2 accounted for a larger share and the number of strategic projects was slightly higher:

• 12 projects under Line 1: Valorisation
• 4 projects under Line 2: Strengthening Scientific Units
• 1 project under Innovation Agents
• 13 projects under Strategic Collaborative Projects

Total funding requested in 2024–2026: €6,596,335.70

• €4,462,380.84 for valorisation, transfer and talent schemes
• €2,133,954.86 for strategic collaborative projects

Despite a slight decrease in the total number of applications and the overall amount requested compared with the previous call, a consistent strategic effort is being maintained in priority areas, particularly R&D valorisation and cooperation between stakeholders across the innovation system.
