    How to apply

    To apply for funding, you need to complete an application form in our application portal, the eServices portal. The form contains questions about your project, project members and budget.

    Attach the correct documents

    In the eServices Portal, you'll need to upload these two mandatory attachments:

    • A project description that follows the structure of the mandatory template.
    • A copy of your latest registered annual report. It should show that your net sales (or equity) exceed at least 25 percent of the total project cost, according to the balance sheet. If these eligibility requirements are not met in the latest annual report, you must attach an auditor's certificate or certificate from an authorized accountant who shows that the requirement is met at the time of proposal.

    We only assess requested pages and attachments. We do not take into account references to web pages, previous project descriptions or final reports.

    Keep in mind that it takes time to make an application. Completing all mandatory attachments can take several days, because they are based on analyses you have to do. Therefore, start well in advance. You can start completing questions, save and resume at a later date.
