How does Business Finland's funding work?


Business Finland's funding supports the international growth and renewal of companies. The funding is targeted at development projects that would not be implemented as ambitiously without public support.

The funding process proceeds as follows:

  1. Familiarisation with financial services and customer relationship criteria
  2. Planning the project and defining its goals
  3. Ensuring the sufficiency of own funding
  4. Submitting an application in Business Finland's online service
  5. Providing any additional information you need
  6. Evaluation of the application: Business Finland evaluates the application and announces the decision
  7. Reviewing Business Finland's decision, reading the terms and conditions and approving the decision in the online service
  8. Organising project accounting and notifying of possible changes
  9. Reporting on implementation and costs
  10. Provide additional information required for the report
