CAN YOU GET THIS?
YOUR REAL ODDS
This is a selective national grant with a jury shortlisting process, not a rolling open award.
The program runs one cohort per cycle; a jury evaluates eligibility, innovation potential, and impact to create a shortlist before winners are announced. Exact number of awards per cycle is not stated in the source.
WHAT IT TAKES
Check eligibility and prepare materials (company number, VAT, pilot description, team CVs) — 1–2 days
Submit application (estimated ~30 minutes on the platform) — 30 minutes
Jury review and shortlisting — Approx. 6 weeks
Finalist presentation to selection committee, then kick-off if selected — 1–2 months
WORTH KNOWING
This is a recoverable grant, not a loan or equity—you only repay the €50,000 if and when your venture hits agreed KPIs or maturity triggers, so there is no repayment pressure in early stages. Funding is disbursed in tranches (20–30% upfront, the rest milestone-based), so be ready to show progress.
