Service Description

If you run a small or medium-sized company that conducts research in the field of electronics, autonomous driving or high-performance computing, you can receive funding under certain conditions.

As a small or medium-sized enterprise (SME), you can apply for the funding program "Microelectronics. Trustworthy and sustainable. For Germany and Europe" funding program of the Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) if you are conducting research in the fields of electronics, autonomous driving or high-performance computing.

The funded part of the research project must be fully assigned to one or more of the following categories:

  • basic research
  • industrial research
  • experimental development

As an SME, you can apply for funding on your own or together with partners, for example a research institution or university. The research tasks and objectives must clearly exceed the state of the art and be characterized by a high scientific, technical and economic risk.

As an SME, you can generally receive funding of up to 50 percent.

Universities, research and scientific institutions as well as comparable institutions that do not fall into the area of scientific activities can receive individual funding of up to 100 percent.

Universities and university hospitals receive an additional project allowance of 20 percent for non-commercial research projects.

You can receive funding for

  • Personnel costs: Costs for researchers, technicians and other personnel, insofar as they are deployed for the project
  • Costs for instruments and equipment, insofar and as long as they are used for the project
  • Costs for contract research: knowledge and patents acquired directly or under license from third parties as well as costs for consulting and equivalent services used exclusively for the project
  • Additional overheads and other costs

The funding period is generally up to 3 years.

The results of the funded project may only be used in the Federal Republic of Germany or the European Economic Area (EEA) and Switzerland.

There is no entitlement to the grant. Rather, the granting authority decides on the basis of its dutiful discretion within the framework of the available budget funds.


Process flow

The application procedure for funding projects in the fields of electronics, autonomous and connected driving and high-performance computing has two stages:

Stage 1: Project outline

  • Submit the project outline in German to the project management organization VDI/VDE Innovation + Technik GmbH online via the submission assistant on the Internet portal for the funding guideline "KMU-innovativ: Elektronik und autonomes Fahren; Supercomputing". The information required for participation in the announcement is available there.
  • In the case of collaborative projects, you must submit project outlines in consultation with the intended collaborative coordinator and explain the need for collaboration within the consortium.
  • The project outline should not exceed 10 pages (Arial font, font size at least 10, line spacing at least 1.15 margins at least 2 centimeters). The cover sheet and any directories are not included.
  • If your project idea is selected, you will receive a positive written request to submit the application (stage 2).

Stage 2: Application

You submit your application for funding for a project in the research, development and use of artificial intelligence methods as follows:

  • The application is submitted electronically via the "easy-Online" portal.
  • Call up the "easy-Online" Internet portal. The portal will guide you through the application step by step.
  • Fill in the required fields, add a qualified electronic signature and submit the application online.

  • If you have any queries, the project management organization will contact you.
  • Applications are evaluated and checked according to the following criteria
    • Proof of SME status in the form of an SME declaration and a significant proportion of the research work by the participating SME(s)
    • Implementation of any conditions from the first stage and compliance with the financial framework recommended there for funding
    • Quality of the detailed description of the solution concept, the work plan and the organization of the collaboration within the consortium
    • informative value of the detailed description of the exploitation plan, also with regard to the funding policy objectives of this funding measure
    • Eligibility of the requested funds
    • Necessity and appropriateness of the requested funds
    • Comprehensibility of the explanations of the financing plan, in the case of companies including the presentation of the own contribution
  • You will receive a decision
