Who can apply?
The applicant must be an innovative startup seeking a repeatable, scalable and profitable business model. It must qualify as a micro or small enterprise, meet the programme’s age conditions and pass the selection process of a participating accelerator.
Who does not meet the basic conditions?
The programme is not designed for medium-sized or large companies. Eligibility also requires selection by an accelerator; an innovative idea alone does not create an entitlement to funding.
What can the support cover?
Eligible expenditure may include team remuneration, external services, equipment, intangible assets and communication activities when they are necessary to deliver the milestones in the individual acceleration plan.
How to prepare
- Select the accelerator round that matches the technology and sector.
- Define the technology recipient’s problem and the proposed implementation.
- Prepare evidence of technical readiness and team capacity.
- Link every proposed cost to a specific acceleration milestone.
