Depending on the instrument, support may cover technical staff, research and development, machinery and equipment, software, materials, training and specialized services. Eligibility and limits per budget line are checked for the chosen modality. What is the difference between financing and grants? Repayable financing is a credit operation: it carries charges, terms and repayment obligations. A grant does not require repayment when the instrument's conditions are met, but it requires project execution, proper use of funds, reporting and, where applicable, matching funds. Does the project need to be ready before we talk? No. We can start from a need or a planned investment and assess its innovation potential. The work structures the scope, budget and funding alternatives, considering Finep and other relevant sources.
