The TAKEOFF Seed Fund Award (TOSFA) is once again opening its doors to researchers and entrepreneurs in Malta seeking to bring their innovative ideas closer to commercialisation.

The award offers access to two funding streams. The Proof of Concept (PoC) fund helps researchers take their work from the lab to market, while the Seed Fund (SF) supports entrepreneurs looking to reach their first customers or attract investment.

Interested applicants are required to attend a mandatory online information session to gain a clearer understanding of the TOSFA scheme and receive guidance on the application process. The PoC workshop will be held on Monday, 12th May at 11:00am, followed by the SF workshop at 2:00pm on the same day.

Attendance at the relevant session is a prerequisite for submitting a valid application. Those unable to attend are advised to contact the organisers in advance.

The deadline for submitting completed applications is Thursday, 29th May 2025, at noon.

More details on the scheme are available on the organisers’ website or via email.
