Phase 3: Develop the business model further and commercialise

This scheme provides grants to suppliers developing new products or solutions in close collaboration with one or more pilot customers. Pilot customers may be public or private organisations, and the innovation project must have significant commercial potential.

The Environmental Technology Scheme provides grants for the development, piloting and demonstration of new environmental technology. It supports solutions that deliver clear environmental benefits and have commercial potential. The grant helps reduce the financial risk for companies developing environmental technology and enables the adoption of new solutions.

Innovation loans provide favourable top-up financing for profitable development and investment projects when your business cannot secure standard bank financing because it cannot provide collateral for the full loan amount.

Does your business need financing beyond private loans? Low-risk loans are available to businesses that need to finance long-term capital requirements. We offer loans on competitive terms with long repayment periods, tailored to your business needs.

The growth guarantee improves access to bank financing for innovative and/or fast-growing small and medium-sized enterprises. It provides additional security when a company is considered able to service a loan but cannot provide the collateral required to secure bank financing. By guaranteeing 75 per cent of the bank’s losses on the loan, we enable banks to finance companies at an earlier stage of their development.
