As part of the competition, projects are selected in the following thematic areas:

Individuals and legal entities-subjects of small business can take part in the competition. You can apply on the website of the Innovation Promotion Fund https://fasie.ru/press/fund/start-1-2022-june/ until September 5, 2022.
The program is implemented in two stages. During the implementation of the first stage of the program (Start-1 competition), applied scientific research and experimental development are carried out, which will make it possible to check the feasibility of the scientific and technical approaches and solutions incorporated in R&D to remove the scientific and technical risks of the project as a whole, as well as to assess the possibility of creating at subsequent stages of the project implementation of a product in demand on the market. R&D results should create prerequisites for attracting an investor to co-finance the project.
