In 2018, we successfully completed the research and development project “Fosforeflect.” After a successful application for the public tender by the Public Agency of the Republic of Slovenia for Encouraging Entrepreneurship, Internationalization, Foreign Investments, and Technology (SPIRIT Slovenia) “Strengthening Company Competencies and Innovation Potential,” we developed, along with our colleagues and with the support of our long-term partners, a silicone mixture resistant to weather and temperature fluctuations. In addition to these important properties, our innovative silicone mixture is distinguished by its capability to emit light in the dark or in low visibility conditions. Our product thus addresses global challenges regarding the safety of vehicles and their visibility in darkness, fog, and poor weather conditions.
The operation was partly financed by the European Union from the European Regional Development Fund.
Total value of the R&D project: 329,701.85 €
Co-financing share (depending on company size): 45%
Expected subsidy amount: 148,365.83 €
Value of own contribution: 181,336.02 €
The operation is carried out within the framework of Priority Investment 1.2: “Encouraging business investments in research and innovation and establishing connections and synergies between companies, research institutions, and the higher education sector, particularly by promoting investments in product and service development, technology transfers, social and eco-innovations, public service applications, encouraging demand, networking, clusters, and open innovations through smart specialization, and supporting technological and applied research, pilot lines, early product evaluation measures, advanced manufacturing capacities, and first production, particularly in the field of key enabling technologies and the dissemination of technologies for general use.”
