Grants for SMEs

Public and European funding for small and medium-sized businesses: digitalisation, hiring, innovation and investment, with normalised deadlines and amounts.

What grants an SME can apply for

SMEs concentrate much of the public funding: digitalisation aid, hiring incentives, energy efficiency, internationalisation, innovation and the lines from chambers of commerce and European funds.

The challenge is filtering, among hundreds of calls, those that really fit your size, sector and region. Captaru gathers them, matches them to your company's profile and alerts you before each deadline.

What to keep in mind as an SME

  • Meet the EU SME definition (fewer than 250 employees and certain turnover thresholds).

  • Be up to date with the tax and social-security authorities: a requirement in almost all.

  • Many grants work by reimbursement: you execute and justify the spending first, then get paid.

  • The de minimis ceiling limits how much aid you can accumulate over three years.

Enhancing Cybersecurity for Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) designated as Important Entities Falling Within the Scope of the NIS2 Directive

European Union · EU

Cascade funding (FSTP – Financial Support to Third Parties). The “NCC-CY - NIS2” Program aims to ensure a baseline level of cybersecurity for a number of important entities covered by the NIS2 Directive, with the goal of protecting their infrastructure, systems, and information through the procurement of relevant cybersecurity solutions and services. The NIS2 Directive (EU 2022/ 2555), which entered into force on October 18, 2024, constitutes the updated pan-European framework for cybersecurity, aimed at strengthening digital security in critical sectors of economic and social activity. It expands upon the original NIS Directive by imposing stricter security measures, mandatory incident reporting, and severe penalties for noncompliance across a broader range of “essential” and “important” entities. The Program aims to obtain a verification certificate from the Digital Security Authority (DSA) for Beneficiaries regarding their compliance with the cybersecurity measures of the Belgian CyberFundamentals (CYFUN) framework, at the Basic level, as of the 2025 edition (for more information, click HERE). These measures will be adopted by the Digital Security Authority (DSA) and will form part of the beneficiary entities’ compliance with the requirements under national legislation transposing the NIS2 Directive.Through this program, small and medium-sized enterprises are given the opportunity to obtain a verification certificate from DSA for the implementation of the relevant measures. Verification audits will be conducted by Cybersecurity Maturity Auditors from the relevant registry managed by the Cyprus Organization for Standardization (CYS). For more information, click HERE.

Frequently asked questions

What grants exist for SMEs in 2026?

Digitalisation lines, energy efficiency, hiring, innovation and internationalisation remain open, plus regional and European calls. Captaru shows the ones open today filtered by your profile.

What is de minimis aid?

Small public aid the EU allows to be granted without prior notification, with a cumulative ceiling per company over a three-year period. It is worth tracking so as not to exceed it.

Are SME grants paid in advance?

Usually not: most work by reimbursement. You run the project, justify the spending with invoices and payments, and the aid is paid afterwards. Some allow an advance with guarantees.

Is your SME looking for funding?

Create a free account, set up your company profile and get the SME grants that fit, with AI-assisted application writing.
