GREEN / SMART / AGILE / SAFE may serve as an applied research framework under testing to structure certain evaluation questions. It is presented neither as a validated theory nor as a recognised external standard.

Before official opening
You present your solution, main universe and maturity level. This is neither an application nor a nomination.
The NEXUS team checks the fit with the universes and the programme’s future framework.
You are notified as soon as the rules, categories and timeline are published.
Once the rules are approved
APPLICATION → ELIGIBILITY CHECK → REVIEW → SHORTLIST → JURY → DECISION → RIGHTS CLEARANCE → PUBLICATION → ACTIVATION / NEXUS 365
Every juror will have to declare relevant links with candidates and recuse themselves where necessary. Confidentiality and file retention rules will be documented.
Collection limited to what is necessary, clear purpose, candidate information, retention period and rights of access, rectification and objection, under Moroccan Law 09-08 (CNDP) and the GDPR where applicable.
Submitting an application does not transfer ownership of the innovation to NEXUS. The rules will specify what may be shared with the jury, what may be published and the authorisations required.
An expression of interest is not an application, nomination, shortlist or award. No meeting, media coverage, funding, partnership or prize is guaranteed.
