In order to increase the chances of successful participation in international tenders/projects, the Project Business Check offers Austrian companies co-financing of costs incurred for the preparation of applications/project submission.

Co-financing is provided for project-related costs for consulting (proposal writing, external data research and (pre-)feasibility studies), further training and participation in events (training in project business, procurement seminars) and travel expenses. Exclusively for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), costs for project submissions within international innovation programs (e.g. Horizon Europe; LIFE, Creative Europe, EIT) are eligible for funding. The focus of the selected program must be on the internationalization of market-ready, innovative products, processes and services. Funding is provided for 50% of the proven, eligible net costs; a maximum of EUR 7,500 is paid out per application.
