Co-develop and validate new solutions

Luxembourg companies can apply for funding, which will be subsidised in the event of effective collaboration

Do you want to do co-develop and validate new solutions as part of a public-private partnership?

Two approaches are possible:

Focus on Joint calls

In order to facilitate close and interactive cooperation between private companies and public research organisations, the Luxembourg Ministry of the Economy, the Luxembourg National Research Fund and Luxinnovation regularly organise joint calls for projects in thematic areas such as healthtech, defence, artificial intelligence and high performance computing. 

The thematic calls for projects provide financial support for public-private partnerships that jointly implement research and development (R&D) projects. 

For companies, the subsidy can cover part of the eligible costs directly related to research and development projects.

We advise you on whether your company is eligible and whether this financing initiative is the most suitable for your project.

We have also set up a matchmaking platform where you can find detailed information about each call, post your project ideas and search for partners.
