Priority axis 2: Supporting the environment and the potential of enterprises to conduct R&D&I activities
Measure: 2.3 Pro-innovation services for enterprises
Sub-measure: Innovation vouchers for SME - Stage 2
The aim of the project was to introduce product innovation to the market in the form of modules with an integrated vertical garden system, the design of which was developed at the service stage. The implementation of the product was possible thanks to the purchase of fixed assets for the needs of the company's new plant where the assembly works of vertical gardens will be carried out on the basis of previously produced modules thanks to the purchased and optimised moulds. The long-term objectives of this implementation will be: - increase in the competitiveness of the company's products by responding to the identified consumer needs in the field of green technologies (implementation of developed modules), as well as potentially lower offer prices (thanks to the production of modules based on our own moulds), - increase in revenues from the sale of the company's products in the form of vertical gardens and ready-made modules, thanks to the creation of a new plant for simultaneous assembly/ preparation of a greater number of products.
4NatureSystem - Wertykalni Sp. z o.o. is implementing the "4Nature" R&D Project as part of the project entitled "Simpact Fund ? investment support for R&D projects under the first Social Impact Fund in Poland".
The value of our part of the project is PLN 1 million and the contribution from the European Funds constitutes 80% of this amount. Support for the implementation of the project was obtained in cooperation with the Simpact ASI Fund Sp. z o.o. conducting the project co-financed by the National Centre for Research and Development from the funds of the European Regional Development Fund under the Smart Growth Operational Programme, Measure 1.3: R&D works financed with the participation of capital funds, Sub-measure 1.3.1: Support for research and development projects in the pre-seed phase with the proof of concept funds ?

Sub-measure: Protection of industrial property
The project assumes obtaining protection of industrial property in the field of technical solutions and industrial design related to modules with an integrated vertical garden system. This protection will be implemented by applying for an invention in the form of a vertical system for the cultivation of ornamental and useful plants in Norway, Sweden, the United Kingdom, Italy, France, Germany, Spain and the United States, as well as applying for 30 industrial designs throughout the European Union. The project covers the costs of official fees, a patent attorney and the necessary translations of documents.

Priority 1: Support for conducting R&D works
Measure 2.1: “Sectoral R&D programmes”.
Sectoral programme: “WoodINN”.
The main goal of the project is to create a unique line of furniture designed for commercial interiors, including offices with a built-in vertical garden and air filtration system.
The subject of the project is the implementation of industrial works, experimental research and development aimed at creating an innovative product - a furniture system with a built-in vertical garden system with IT control, which improves the quality of the environment, particularly the air in closed rooms. The introduction of vegetation into the interior and the use of filtering elements will help to reduce air pollution, moisturise it and positively affect the human psyche. The result of the project will be a new product - a globally unique line of furniture for commercial interiors with a built-in system of vertical gardens. It is a response to the steadily decreasing size of areas covered with vegetation, mainly in growing cities. The products are designed to combine the functional features of typical furniture and ergonomic use with the beneficial effects of plants on air quality.

Sub-measure 2.3.2 Innovation vouchers for SMEs
The aim of the project was to develop a significantly improved product, design projects and marketing methods of vertical gardens for interiors, terraces and balconies.
The subject of the project was to develop a significantly improved innovative product, i. e. a mobile vertical garden - a ready-made module with a built-in irrigation system. The scope of the project included cooperation with two research institutions.
The cooperation with the Institute of Industrial Design included the development of a new design project in terms of functionality and appearance. The collaboration with the Institute of Horticulture aimed at developing the best possible parameters of growing plants in a vertical system, acquiring new knowledge on aspects of growing plants in specific conditions, including soil-free conditions. It also focused on determining the parameters of the applied substrate and plant species, and identifying solutions that will contribute to the development of a high-quality product - a safe vertical garden with a beneficial effect on human health.
