Your odds
Not published

This funder does not publish a success rate. We rank it using the rate observed across similar programmes and label it as an estimate rather than implying we know.

Effort
major

Major bid — written case, budget, possibly partners.

You fund 50% yourself.

This is de minimis aid. It counts against the €300,000 ceiling that applies to your company across a rolling three years in this member state (Commission Regulation (EU) 2023/2831). If a new award would take you over, Article 3(7) disqualifies that award in full rather than reducing it — so check your headroom before you apply, not after. Check your headroom for Germany.

Who can apply

Applicant must be located in Baden-Württemberg with max 100 full-time equivalents and prior-year turnover or balance-sheet total of at most 20 Mio. EUR. Start-ups up to 5 years after founding, also available in the pre-founding phase; targets growth-oriented innovation from emerging technology fields.

How to apply

  1. Select a suitable research institution or service provider and obtain a quote.
  2. Apply online through the L-Bank portal before commissioning the work. — link
  3. Carry out the work, then submit the proof of use to claim the voucher.
