Pilot rounds

Home Pilot rounds

We have been working round the clock on the premise of a technology assessment and rating methodology that has been developing for over 30 years, to create a novel platform that helps SMEs showcase their potential and assists the decision making of investors. Now, through two iterative pilot rounds, you can test our platform and services. If you are an innovative project, start-up, SME, private investor, innovation intermediary, technology transfer office or matchmaking firm from the European Union or Associated Countries, register on our platform and come onboard InnoRate’s world.

The process

All you need to do to get hands-on the platform, is register. Αfter that, you will have access to our entire service channel. A number of tutorials are also in place in case you need guidance. During our pilot phase, our service channel is entirely free of charge!

If you are an innovative project, start-up or SME, you can be assessed instantly through the fully automated pre-screening service, by providing the requested information for the relevant indicators of the ITRS. Want more qualitative insight about your innovation(s)? Choose to go through the deep assessment service and an expert in your domain will assess hard-to-quantify aspects of your business.

If you are a private investor, innovation intermediary, TTO or matchmaking firm, you will be able to navigate the platform, using the data analytics services and supporting your business decisions based on our novel technology assessment and rating services (pre-screening and deep assessment).

The only thing that we will be asking from you, is your feedback: How would you rate your experience with the InnoRate platform and services? Was it easy to navigate our platform? How can we improve our platform and/or services?
