Funding bodyTBI Technology Consultancy Institute Ltd

The MV Digitalisation Funding Scheme is a programme run by the State of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania’s technology funding agency, which is administered by TBI Technologie-Beratungs-Institut GmbH. Funding is available for digitalisation projects undertaken by small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the manufacturing, skilled trades or tourism sectors, with fewer than 100 employees and a place of business in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern. The application process consists of two stages: first, you submit a project outline for preliminary assessment. If the assessment is positive, you then submit the formal funding application to TBI — no later than 14 days before the planned start of the project, as funding is generally not available for measures that have already begun. The programme is not offered on a permanent basis but is advertised through time-limited funding calls and has been temporarily suspended at times in the past. We will check the current status with you before you submit a project outline and assist you with both the outline and the application.
