During these phases, selected companies develop proof of concept projects and, if successful, may advance to a commercial relationship. Participation is voluntary, and organizations must meet the program’s regulatory requirements. The program does not offer cash prizes or expense reimbursements and emphasizes data protection, confidentiality, and compliance with anti-corruption laws.
