Prior to the submission, Corfo will invite the companies to present the proposed R&D project. Those are mandatory steps within Phase 1 of the application process. Finally, only companies that are selected and allowed to move to Phase 2 can apply to national funding from Corfo after reviewing Phase 1.

The project must be the development of new or improved products and/or processes, requiring research and development, from the prototype phase to technical validation, production scale, and commercial phase.
