The paused Talent funding cannot be opened for applications as planned in January 2025.
The demand for Talent funding at the end of 2024 has exceeded expectations, and the applications received must be processed before it can be assessed whether there is enough allocated authorization for this purpose to make reopening the service possible again. Talent funding enables companies to create new operation models and capabilities that accelerate international growth. Business Finland's funding authorization is heavily weighted towards research and development activities, and there is less authorization available for other purposes.
Call for the Talent funding service was closed on December 15, 2024. Once a call is closed, you cannot open new applications in the online service or submit incomplete applications that were created before the call was closed.
