Applicant categories are a starting point. The official call decides eligibility.

Timing

Project submission deadline extended to 25 November 2026. Company pre-registration deadline: 23 November 2026. Registration approval and valid electronic signatures are required; check the official cutoff details.

How to apply

2. Check that your e-signature is valid until the call closes; renew it if not.
