Do you go to phase 1 or 2?
well, i'd like to go straight to phase 2, because we have actual products nearing completion: it's not actually "theoretical", it's real.
however....
You need actual partners for phase2. For phase 1 you can have only
letter of
intent or mention it in project. Phase 2 you have little chances w/o
phase 1
won (in theory you do but in real life no).
.... if you've actually had experience with this then i'm happy to learn from that.
It is advice from our consultants. If you won phase1 i think more then 50% of projects will win phase 2 also. If you go to phase2 directly chances are much much lower but it is also possible to apply.
