The contribution is granted in the proportion of the investment, capped at certain amounts. It is 10% of the investment, with a maximum amount of 2,000 euros. In the case of predominantly young companies with most members up to 35 years old, it is 10% of the investment with a maximum amount of 4,000 euros.
The minimum expenditure of the investment is set at 7,500 euros, excluding VAT, for invoices issued in 2024 and paid by 30th April 2025. Applications should be submitted by and not later than 30th April 2025. These measures will motivate more companies to shift towards more innovative and sustainable business practices.
