11th German-Korean Call for Proposals for Joint R&D Projects
Termin:
31.07.2025
Fördergeber:
BMWK
The Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy of Korea (MOTIE) and the German Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Action (BMWK) intend to support joint German-Korean research and development projects (R&D projects) in order to develop innovative products, processes or technical services from all technology and application areas.
Funding will be available for R&D projects in which new products, services or processes with a high market potential are developed and subsequently transformed into marketable products. In Germany, funding is provided through the Central Innovation Programme for SMEs (ZIM). MOTIE (Coordinator: Korea Institute for Advancement of Technology - KIAT) and AiF Projekt GmbH (ZIM project management agency on behalf of the BMWK) support the applicants in the phase of submission of project proposals, in the evaluation and in the implementation phase.
The consortium must include at least one Korean and one German commercial company. Participation of research organizations and further companies is welcome as additional participants or subcontractors according to each country’s funding regulations.
The project should have an obvious advantage and added value resulting from the cooperation between the participants from the two countries (e.g. increased knowledge base, commercial lead, access to R&D infrastructure, new fields of application, etc.). Its results will have to contribute to the development of commercial products, processes and/or technical services, which are based on the international state of the art.
Project duration should not exceed 3 years.
The call invites partners to present joint proposals for industrial R&D projects until 25th June 2025 (4 p.m. Korea / 9 a.m. Germany).
Contact Person Germany: AiF Projekt GmbH Mr. Christian Fichtner, Phone: +49 (0)30 48163-590, Mail: c.fichtner@aif-projekt-gmbh.de
