Enterprise Singapore (EnterpriseSG) and the German Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Action (BMWK) will provide financial support for joint projects that fulfil the necessary criteria through EnterpriseSG’s Enterprise Development Grant Co-Innovation Programme (“EDG CIP”) and BMWK's Central Innovation Programme for SMEs (“ZIM”). EnterpriseSG and BMWK’s coordinator AiF Projekt GmbH intend to provide support to project partners during the project proposal, evaluation, and monitoring phases.
This call invites German and Singapore enterprises to present joint proposals. A consortium must involve at least one Singapore and one German small and medium-sized Enterprise (SME), independent from each other. Research institutes and additional companies are welcomed as additional cooperation partners or subcontractors according to each country’s funding regulations.
Eligible project participants from Germany and Singapore will finance their costs from national funding schemes and complementarily from their own resources. Provision of funding from one national scheme will neither indicate that funding from the other national scheme will be provided, nor bind the other national scheme in its provision of funds to the eligible project participants.
Participants must submit a completed common proposal, legally signed by all organisations participating in the project, and a draft consortium agreement that regulates the terms of cooperation between all partners. In addition, each participating Singapore company and each German company and research organization that want to apply for funding within this call must submit a national application. All documents must be transmitted by 5 September 2024, 23:59 CEST / SGT.
