The grant rate is 70%.

The maximum ceiling is €350,000 in grants over a period of up to 3 years. 

Payment of the grant depends on the achievement of the milestones proposed in the project plan. In the initial project plan, the entrepreneur must define measurable milestones at least annually. It is additionally recommended not to define more than 2 milestones per year. A corresponding grant tranche is paid per project phase. After each phase the results are evaluated. The company must – if applicable – submit an updated project plan for any later project phase(s). On the basis of this information, the panel issues an opinion and VLAIO decides whether a subsequent project phase may be financed or not.
