Funding

The ITEA label is endorsed by all Eureka Member Countries and financial support can be provided according to national funding procedures.

In order to prepare a successful proposal, you need to be aware that there may be significant differences in funding procedures. You must therefore make sure that your project proposal fits within national public authorities' priorities and funding rules before you submit it to ITEA.

National funding applications

National applications for funding should be submitted after ITEA labelling (or earlier depedent on national procedures). Since the deadline for such submissions varies from country to country, each project partner (or each consortium’s national contact person) should get in touch with the relevant public authority’s contact person well in advance to know the deadline, the information to be gathered and/or the forms to be filled in.

Take into account the following:

Any national priorities that project proposers should consider To receive Enterprise Estonia funding, a company that has received a positive decision must meet the following conditions:
  • The company is an SME
  • The company is not in difficulty
  • The company has the necessary resources to cover the self-financing of the project
  • The company has a significant impact on the Estonian economy
The following components are generally considered in terms of impact on the Estonian economy:
  • Location of jobs
  • Location of production
  • Location of development activities
  • Location of IO
  • Location of sales revenue
In addition, we look at the overall picture, how the company’s economic activities and the added value generated by them are related to Estonia.

Enterprise Estonia only funds companies, not Estonian universities. Despite this, we encourage Estonian universities to participate in Eureka network activities with their own funds. Enterprise Estonia does not set any conditions for universities to participate in projects. The same applies to companies that participate in the call with their own funding.

Funding rate and eligible costs For French participants, there are 3 types of funding, depending on the size and characteristics of the project.
  • The first type of funding is called innovation aid or Aide à l'innovation. It takes the form of a subsidised rate loan or a repayable advance of up to 3 million euros. The French firm must have less than 2,000 full-time equivalents to be eligible. Academic partners are not eligible for this funding but may participate as subcontractors. The project must last up to 3 years.
  • The second financing option is i-Démo, reserved only for projects with a cumulative French budget of over €4 million, with at least one French SME or company with less than 2,000 FTE in the consortium and with no more than 6 French participants. The project must last between 2 to 5 years and can include an industrial R&D phase and/or an experimental development phase. This funding is a mix between a repayable advance and a grant. In this case, academic partners are eligible to this funding.
  • Alternatively, you can apply to a thematic national call for projects under France 2030, provided you meet the eligibility requirements. For further information, please contact Bpifrance.
  • In all cases: the project, and the French participant's technical and financial capacity to carry it through must be assessed by Bpifrance. What is recommended to French firms is to contact our team as early as possible before submission to check eligibility to funding.
