Funding or Finance Opportunity

WIPANO

WIPANO Innovation Support for SME and Start-ups

With the WIPANO grant, your company receives a subsidy of 50 percent of your total expenses for the entire process of a patent or utility model application, which does not have to be repaid (max. grant amount 16,600 euros). The subsidy is divided into the following five service packages (LP1 to LP5), which must be provided by qualified external service providers - such as White IP. In addition to the patent or utility model application, LP1 and LP2 must be carried out in order to receive the funding.

What is the goal of the WIPANO grant program?
The aim of the funding is to secure your innovation legally and economically and to transfer it quickly into practical application, so that your company is also successfully positioned for the future and at the same time the market and competitiveness is strengthened.
