Long development, high costs – and good programmes for it

In this industry development, approval and first production are often years apart. That is exactly what research funding, agricultural and food programmes and R&D tax relief exist for. The amounts are among the highest anywhere – and the rules among the strictest: application before the project start, a documented research share, clean separation of costs.

FAQ

Frequent questions from the industry

The report states the documented maximum per programme with a source – and separately what can realistically be derived for your project. A big figure that falls apart under scrutiny helps nobody.

It works through tax and is therefore never counted into the same total as grants. The report covers both separately.
