Funding for the whole innovation economy.
If your team is doing genuine development, your field almost certainly qualifies. Here is how we fund the nine sectors we know best, and the programmes that fit each.
The sectors we fund every week
Some funding programs cover only specific industries, while others are entirely industry-agnostic. Either way, each comes with its own specifics worth knowing. Pick a sector for the programs that fit, the eligible work and typical results.
AI
Platforms, models, data infrastructure and developer tools where novel architecture counts.
Healthcare
Devices, diagnostics, digital health and medical software with real technical risk.
Sustainability
Emissions, clean processes and the circular economy. Pilot reactors and process R&D.
Robotics
Motion, perception, custom boards and embedded systems developed in tandem.
Manufacturing
Materials, mechanics, automation and production processes.
Solar
Cells, modules, inverters and storage integration. Pilot lines and field R&D.
Biotech
Therapeutics, bioprocessing and synthetic biology. Lab-heavy R&D under deep uncertainty.
Agriculture
Field robotics, sensing, biologicals and farm software. Season-bound trials and hardware.
EV
Batteries, powertrain, power electronics and charging. Deep, capital-heavy R&D.
Funding by company type
Beyond your industry, the right funding mix, the rates and even the eligibility shift with your stage and size. Each company type comes with its own specifics, so pick the profile that fits.
Self-employed
Sole proprietors and freelancers. Your own R&D hours count, paid as cash.
Startups
Pre-revenue and research-heavy. Stack grants and credits without giving up equity.
SMEs
The sweet spot of German and EU funding. The widest range and the highest rates.
Large companies
Size-neutral and EU-scale instruments. The Research Allowance has no size cap.
