                      The TRL framework is a measurement system in which each level describes a stage in the development of a technology. Using the TRL method enables a standardised understanding of technical maturity across different types of technology. The TRL system applies to all types of research, regardless of whether the innovation concerns a product or a service. There are 9 technology readiness levels<\/strong>: TRL 1 is the lowest, while TRL 9 is the highest, most mature technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
