Innovation to new technology integration begins with a conception validated by basic and applied research through assessment of economic, market, and technical potential of the innovative technologies, receiving seed capital from angel investors, grants, and loans from government and private entities, followed by demonstration and pilot projects and finally integration into the marketplace as commercially viable technologies.
