Notes on the funding information: The figure shown in each case is the maximum grant, not the upper limit of eligible expenses. This overview is based on our own research on the program pages and in the guidelines of the relevant authorities, as of September 17, 2026. Funding programs change constantly. Budgets are exhausted over the course of the year, application windows open and close, and guidelines are revised. We therefore provide no guarantee as to the accuracy, completeness, or timeliness of the information and accept no liability for decisions based on this overview. Only the currently applicable guideline of the relevant authority is authoritative. Eligibility, funding amount, and approval are decided exclusively by the respective development bank or approving authority, and there is no entitlement to funding. This page does not constitute legal, tax, or funding advice. Please check the current status via the link to the program page before making any decision.
