Continuous. SMEs approach their nearest EDIH directly; each hub has its own intake process.
No cash to the SME. EDIHs provide 'test before invest' services, AI/HPC/cybersecurity experimentation, digital skills training and innovation-ecosystem access, delivered free or heavily subsidised under de minimis rules. Value per SME is capped by state-aid rules rather than a published grant amount.
You must co-fund 0%.

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.
Quick — mostly identity and bank details.
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.
Who can apply
- Sectors: ai, manufacturing, any
- Stage: pre_seed, seed, series_a, growth
- Locally registered entity required
SMEs and public sector organisations located in the EDIH's region. Services are subsidised under de minimis state aid, so prior de minimis aid received counts against the ceiling.
