Here is a list of funded projects:

If anybody wants to look depper into their claim of "proven success".

I browsed through it shallowly and didn't find any project that I know/use, nor were the projects which I have randomly clicked on any interesting, when they had a working, usable result at all and not just designs or proof of concepts.

I know it sounds cynical, but I honestly don't mean it negatively. I just wanted to look a bit into it because their claims seemed without substance to me.

But as I said I only looked at it very shallowly so far.

It's not about supporting new and interesting stuff. Everyone wants to work on new and interesting stuff. Public funding is more about keeping the old boring stuff that nobody wants to maintain usable.
