K / Source checked

Named sources. Clear dates.

This selection was checked on 23 October 2026. It does not update automatically. Dated rounds close after their deadline; open records not reviewed for 14 days need rechecking. A programme listing does not mean applications are open.

We use sources from the public authority or programme owner. We do not mark a previous round open without verifying a new call. Conflicting conditions are not presented as settled facts. This first selection is not an exhaustive directory; every record shows its source and last review date.

Use the official call for final terms and times. Eligibility can depend on sector, company age, country, and application stage.
