From idea to market success – innovation programs for SMEs
What does a company need to turn an innovative idea into a market success? The answers to this question are as diverse as entrepreneurial life itself: courage, creativity, and market instinct. But also time, resources, partners, advice, and financial support.
The Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy (BMWi) is helping with a range of tailored funding programs. Whether a startup or an established company, an IT firm or a mechanical engineering company, whether in the early stages of research or development leading to market readiness, every small and medium-sized enterprise (SME) – regardless of industry or stage of innovation development – will find the support it needs. The application and approval processes are as simple and fast as possible.
Which funding programs are suitable for me and who can I contact? The nationwide BMWi roadshow offers answers. Since October 2015, the BMWi has been presenting the various funding opportunities in cooperation with regional partners.
The BMWi roadshow is aimed at
- “High-tech” start-ups
- medium-sized innovative companies from all sectors
- Interested parties from science, research and universities.
The events focus on the four program families, including ZIM, which accompany companies along the innovation cycle “from the idea to market success.”
