The Seed and E-Face funds provide funding of 4m per year to support innovation. Both funds are accessible to all business lines, without exception. Seed Innov provides support from the earliest stages of Rd and proof-of-concept activities up to commercial launch. The purpose of Seed Innov is to cut the time-to-market for projects. The second fund, E-Face, supports innovative low-carbon solutions by providing financial assistance to offset the difference in cost between a traditional carbon dioxide-emitting solution and an alternative low-carbon solution.
