Financing & Funding

Now that you have a business idea, you need to sort out the funding. Did you know that you can get EU funding for your business through grants, loans and guarantees? The EU also provides direct funding for a broad range of programmes covering various areas such as research or the environment. You will find an overview of EU and national funding programmes below. As funds are usually managed by national authorities, find out who to contact in this sub-section.

Use the ‘country’ filter below to refine your search and view country-specific information only. 

If you are unable to find country- or sector-specific information, try using other search criteria.

To help with this, we have added tags which enable you to search for specific information throughout the platform, so that you can view all the relevant information on one topic without having to browse through all the sections and sub-sections.

As some information is relevant to both women and men, please keep in mind that some results will target women in particular, while others will be relevant to entrepreneurs in general.
