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.
