There are three categories: Innovative New Products and Services, New Business Expansion, and Global. Applications open at 18:00 on September 30, and the deadline is 18:00 on October 30.This is a program where the government pays part of the equipment costs for companies that make new products, start a different kind of business, or prepare to sell abroad. Because the amounts are large, the company is later checked to see whether it really grew.
