Your real odds
Competition runs mission-by-mission across multiple cycles each year, so your odds depend on how well your technology fits one specific sector and country target rather than a single annual pool.
Each mission is scoped to a sector like quantum, AI, or cybersecurity, so a strong fit with the mission's focus matters more than general competitiveness across the program.
What it takes
Confirm your technology fits an upcoming mission's sector and market1–2 days
Contact your regional Trade Commissioner Service office to assess fit1–2 weeks
Submit your application before the mission's recruitment deadlineA few hours to complete
Worth knowing
The TCS explicitly recommends contacting your regional TCS office before applying, and doing that early can sharpen your application and surface missions you would otherwise miss.
