What will you get?

Cascade funding is a mechanism of the European Commission of allocating funds in order to support SMEs and start-ups in developing and implementing innovative digital solutions. The main idea of cascade funding is to simplify the procedures of financing by allowing the projects, that are already financed by the EU, to run open calls for financing smaller projects. Through this instrument start-ups and SMEs can attract from 20 000 to 500 000 euro for innovative product development.

Agenda

• What is the cascade funding and how to find a right call for you?
