The selection of experiments was carried out in two competitive phases:
Phase I: 12 selected experiments competed to develop their proof-of-concept (9 months).
Phase II: the winners continued to Phase II for another 9 months to bring their technologies even closer to the market.
The final five experiments which started Phase II on March 15th, 2020, are:
