SUPPORT FOR INNOVATIVE START-UPS PUBLIC FUNDING
Luxinnovation supports companies to apply for public funding: •
Subsidies for R&D/Innovation are granted by the Ministry of Economy for companies with substantial activities in Luxembourg;
•
Subsidies always cover a part of a project based on real costs. Own funds have to co-finance the remaining;
•
R&D/Innovation schemes can co-finance the development of innovative products;
•
A dedicated scheme can co-finance the cash-flow need of a start-up during its growth phase by matching equity investments.
