Funding for Your IT Projects

Many firms do not know which public funding or financing options are currently open. Digital Jetzt and go-digital have ended, while regular ZIM applications are temporarily suspended. We therefore check current KfW and regional programmes against the project instead of promising a blanket funding rate. Definitions, limits and typical pitfalls are summarised in our glossary entry on IT funding consulting.

Programme status as of 8 September 2026

Digital Jetzt ended on 31 December 2023, and go-digital has ended. Digitalbonus.Niedersachsen-innovativ expired on 31 December 2025. Regular ZIM applications have been temporarily suspended since 7 July 2026; open international calls may be exempt.

Active examples include the KfW ERP Promotional Loan for Digitalisation, MID NRW, Digitalbonus Bavaria with monthly quotas, and Hamburg Digital Check.

The funding world is complex. Federal, state and EU programs offer hundreds of options with different rules and deadlines. Without know-how, companies often waste weeks and then fail on formalities – or start the project before approval and lose the grant.

We help you through this. We check if your project is eligible, find the right programs and guide you through the application. Because we are an IT provider we can also do the funded project ourselves – consulting and delivery from one place.

That makes the technical part of your application solid and realistic. We have helped many clients get funding for digitalization, AI, software and IT security. The first chat is free and non-binding.

We also help with reporting, milestones and final documentation. We know what funders expect and how to avoid mistakes that lead to clawbacks or lower payments.

Funding checks require a source, date and authority decision

Eligibility is assessed at a specific point in time. We record the programme, official guideline, access date, deadlines, permitted project start and unresolved interpretation issues. A positive initial assessment is not an approval; only the responsible authority can issue a binding decision. Alternatives are set out in our software financing overview.
