Can I apply for participation if my project does not correspond to the specified business areas?
Yes, we consider all incoming applications for possible cooperation.
Can I apply with a new project if the previous one was rejected?
Rejection of the project is not blocking further opportunities. We are looking forward to your new project if it meets the requirements.
I applied and didn’t get any feedback. When will I receive an answer?
We consider all incoming applications and form our own database of startups. If you do not receive a response within 2 weeks, then most likely your product does not meet the current request. However, when relevant requests arise, we first monitor our own database, which already contains your project. In addition, you can always send us an updated description of your product, after it has been completed, so that we have the most up-to-date information.

During business piloting, the participant does not transfer any rights to his product or intellectual property objects that may be contained in the application materials and presentations.
What happens after the pilot project?
If the cooperation hypothesis is proved, the participants in the pilot project can proceed to the purchase and / or full-fledged commercial partnership under the fast track procedure, as well as receive investments from the MTS Venture Fund.
