Digital projects are well funded – if the degree of innovation is documented

For software, platforms and digital media there are more programmes than in almost any other industry. But they all hang on one question: is this a genuine innovation or a proven business model in digital form? Both are eligible, just through different routes. Anyone who classifies themselves wrongly applies for programmes they will never get – and misses the ones they would get straight away.

What gets clarified first

1

How innovative is your project really?

We distinguish between technological novelty with a research share, digital innovation without research, and a proven model. That classification decides which programmes are open to you at all.

Is there a university or research partner?

Many innovation programmes require a partner. If one is missing, that is a named gap with a time requirement – not an exclusion.

Have development contracts already been awarded?

A signed development contract counts as a project start. After that, innovation funding is permanently gone for this project.

FAQ

Frequent questions from the industry

Yes. For proven business models in digital form, digitalisation and advisory programmes apply instead of research funding. The report classifies your project honestly and shows the right track.

Only with a realistic strategic fit. Horizon Europe programmes run over long periods with heavy competition. The report only recommends them in that case and otherwise says openly why not.
