All grant programmes

The main ones are the VLAIO R&D grant (research and development), Schaalklaar (scaling young companies), the Ecologiepremie+ (sustainable investments), Horizon Europe (European innovation), the Innovation Deduction (a tax benefit on IP income), Strategic Transformation Support (large transformation projects) and payroll tax relief (the wage cost of researchers). Each instrument targets a different type of project and profile.

It depends on what you do and where you stand. Developing a new product or process? The R&D grant is the starting point; a young scale-up? Schaalklaar; investing in green technology? The Ecologiepremie+; employing researchers? Payroll tax relief. Often a combination is strongest. A free grant scan maps out which support your situation qualifies for.

Often yes, as long as you do not have the same cost subsidised twice. Instruments that work on different axes — for example an R&D grant on the project costs, payroll tax relief on the wage cost and the Innovation Deduction on the IP income — reinforce each other within a single track. We watch the allocation so every euro counts only once.

For all sectors. Innovation is not reserved for IT: a food company testing a new packaging process, a manufacturer making a production line more sustainable, or a service provider building a new platform all qualify just as well. What counts is the innovative challenge, not the sector.

For most files we work on a no cure, no pay basis: if the grant is not awarded, you pay nothing. Our fee is a percentage of the grant actually awarded. The first step — a grant scan to determine which support is achievable — is free and without obligation.
