How do I get started to enable my software for Intel technologies?
Creating a Project for your application is the first step in getting the most of your membership in the program. With a Project in place, the program can help with recommendations for next steps and give you access to the benefits and resources that you need to optimize and also to market and sell your application.

To get started, go to the Innovate on Intel Architecture page. If you are familiar with Intel technologies, select the one most relevant to your application. If you’re looking for additional information on the technologies and what best fits with your application, select the Software Market Focus area button or use the “Wizard”. You’ll be asked several questions regarding the nature of your application. You will also be made aware of various benefits available to you as you complete your enabling project and continue on to market and sell your solution.
