The digital
meeting space.

Your profile.

F² Platform is the free digital tool with which IP creators, researchers, inventors, startups and SMEs, map their skills and reach industrial challenges, public calls and venture-building opportunities.

You register once. Then you complete a detailed profile: skills, technologies, patents, prototypes, research results. The profile makes you visible within the ecosystem, but on its own it is not enough: what counts is the project.

From profile to project.

With a complete profile you receive, in a targeted way, the challenges of industrial partners, the open public calls and the areas of interest for venture-building. You respond by submitting a project, or you propose one proactively: it stays ready to meet an opportunity that emerges later.

Every project goes through a scientific and industrial evaluation. Selected projects are executed in the FFI laboratories: for industrial partners, or to become new startups with the ecosystem’s contribution.
