Funded innovation networks

Innovation networks are a useful way for many companies to develop R&D projects. But how can these networks be financed? In some cases, state funding is possible. SMEs should check whether such a network can be funded via the Central Innovation Programme for SMEs (Zentrales Innovationsprogramm Mittelstand, ZIM).

What is funded by ZIM?

ZIM not only provides funding for R&D projects, but also for the management of innovation networks. An external service provider commissioned by the participating companies, such as EurA or a research institution involved in the network, is eligible to apply for funding for network management.

Who is funded by ZIM?

The applicant and funding recipient is the network management service provider. The beneficiaries of ZIM funding, on the other hand, are the companies associated in the innovation network: At least six independent SMEs must join forces for this purpose. They contribute to the costs of network management, which are allocated proportionately to all of them.

Tip: Read more about ZIM funding for networks on the BMWK ministry website.
