Digitalisation Funding MV: The application process explained in two steps
Digitalisation Funding MV supports businesses in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern with AI-based projects with grants of up to 50%. The application process is two-stage – we explain what matters for the project outline and funding application.
The well-known problem: funding window missed because the start came too late
Unlike permanently open programs, the Digitalisierungsförderung MV is announced in time-limited funding calls – anyone who only starts the application process after the project has begun usually comes away empty-handed.
What the Digitalisierungsförderung MV covers
- Up to 50 % grant for eligible digitalization costs
- Administered by TBI Technologie-Beratungs-Institut GmbH
- For businesses in manufacturing, skilled trades, or tourism with fewer than 100 employees
Why this is more than just filling out a form
The application process has two stages: first a project outline for preliminary review, then – if the assessment is positive – the formal funding application, at the latest 14 days before the planned start of the project. Anyone who does not know this sequence risks that measures already started will be excluded from funding.
Practical example: project outline before the first click
A car dealership in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern wants to automate appointment scheduling with AI support. Instead of getting started right away, we first review the current status of the funding call together, prepare the project outline, and support the formal application to TBI – only then does the actual project begin.
