Funding

Which programme fits your project?

No blanket funding rate. Every programme on the page carries its own dated status, and the funding check leads you to the one that is open for your project.

Programme A
Programme B, worth checking
Programme C

01 Why we no longer state a blanket rate

Earlier statements about a blanket funding rate for AI projects could not be seriously defended. Funding rates differ too much by programme, company size, federal state and application timing to compress into a single number. Instead of one summary claim, we list every programme individually, with its status and the date we checked it. Funding remains a helpful door-opener for many projects, but for us it is not a building block of pricing, and not a reason to delay a project.

02 Programmes at a glance

Status was last checked on 27 August 2026 and can change at short notice, especially for programmes with a limited budget.

This overview is not a market study and not a funding commitment; it summarises the publicly known status as of the date shown.

03 What this means for your project

An application stop does not necessarily mean no funding is reachable for your project - regional or industry-specific programmes with their own timeline often run in parallel. Conversely, no project should be delayed just because funding might be available: the wait for a decision can take longer than the pilot itself. We recommend checking funding in parallel with starting the project, not as a precondition for it.

04 How we check your funding eligibility

Instead of a general assessment, we use four inputs - company size, industry, federal state and project type - to show how many currently open programmes could in principle fit your project. You can use the funding-eligibility check directly online; the result is an estimate based on current programme status, not a commitment.

05 How this connects to project price

How possible funding can affect the price of a pilot or rollout, we explain in detail under pricing. There you'll also find the three packages that make up an AI project with us.
