Open continuously
No deadline — apply whenever you are ready.
Standard vouchers are worth €10,000. Co-Funded Vouchers are worth up to €20,000, where the company contributes part of the cost. All vouchers are valid for 18 months.
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.
Moderate — a form and supporting documents.
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 Ireland.
