How to become a partner
KIC Raw MatTERS offers different ways for participation:
•
Core Partners are the “owners” of KIC legal entity and its CLCs. Core
Partners have the decision making powers on KIC overall strategy, can
participate in an unlimited number of KIC projects and have have full
access to KIC networks. Core partners invest an annual fee of 100.000€ in
cash and 900.000€ in-kind (the latter are activities that are already running
in your company, e.g. staff, offices, lab facilities, public funded projects etc.)
•
Partners with a dedicated regional or thematic focus can become Network
Partners of the KIC. Associate Partners have access to all events and
network benefits, but have no direct representation at the KIC decision
level. Network partners have lower entry conditions.
