2Support application
Apply for the ecology premium plus via the pink ‘Apply’ button in the menu above. You will be directed to the e-counter for entrepreneurs.
A legal representative (managing director, director, etc.) can log in using eID, itsme or another digital authentication key and immediately start a support application. Other persons may also do so if they have been granted access rights by the enterprise’s main access holder via the Flemish Government access management system.
After starting the support application, the applicant has 15 days to finalise it. You will receive a reminder before this deadline expires. If the application is not finalised within this period, it will automatically be cancelled. In that case, a completely new support application must be started.
The application includes questions both about the applying enterprise (enterprise size, belonging to the EBO target group, etc.) and about the technology in which the investment will be made. You will also be asked for the expected start date of the investments. In addition, you must upload a quotation or purchase order. Proper preparation is therefore essential!
Which information is required during the application?
- quotation or purchase order for the requested technology showing a breakdown of investment costs, excluding VAT, for essential and, where applicable, optional components
- number of the corresponding technology on the exhaustive technology list
- document determining enterprise size
- explanatory document relating to the technical questions per technology. For technologies numbered from 201095 onwards, these questions will be provided by your VLAIO case officer after submission of the support application
Eligibility check
After submission, VLAIO will evaluate applications based on the following eligibility criteria:
- the enterprise meets the submission conditions

VLAIO decides whether or not the application is admissible. If the application is deemed inadmissible, VLAIO will notify you by email.
