What funding opportunities exist for digitalization and AI in the mid-market.
Digitalization is Funded
The federal government and states provide a variety of funding programs that financially support mid-market companies in digitalization and AI projects. Many of our clients take advantage of these programs—significantly reducing their investment costs.
The funding landscape is vast and not always clear. But the most important message is simple: For what we develop together, there is funding available in many cases.
What is Typically Funded
Most programs target exactly the themes that define our work:
| 🗄️ | Digitalization of business processes |
| 🔗 | Integration and networking of existing systems |
| 🧠 | Use of AI and automation |
| 🏗️ | Development of custom software solutions |
| 📊 | Establishment of digital infrastructure and data management |
| 🔒 | IT security and data protection measures |
Whether a specific project is eligible for funding depends on the program, the federal state, and the size of the company. However, the overlap with our projects is generally large.
Typical Funding Rates
The exact conditions vary depending on the program and region. As a guideline:
| Typical Range | |
| Funding Rate | 30 – 80 % of eligible costs |
| Maximum Funding | 15,000 – 150,000 € per project |
| Target Group | SMEs and mid-market companies |
Some programs fund consulting services, others development costs, and still others both. The right combination depends on your situation.
