General Programmes

With its wide range of funding options for research and development, the FFG General Programmes strengthen the competitiveness of companies based in Austria. They offer tailored funding for each project phase: The right funding is available for every project phase and size - from brainstorming and a feasibility study, through an initial project start, to the actual company project (experimental development or industrial research, cooperation possible) as well as initial routes to the market. The cooperation between science and industry is additionally supported by the own program BRIDGE. R & D projects by Start-up companies and Frontrunner companies as well as the promotion of Service Innovations (Smart and Digital Services) are also major funding priorities in the General Programmes of the FFG. The SME package shows the structured way to R & D activities for small and medium-sized enterprises.
