Quick — mostly identity and bank details.
This is de minimis aid. It counts against the €300,000 ceiling that applies to your company across a rolling three years in this member state (Commission Regulation (EU) 2023/2831). If a new award would take you over, Article 3(7) disqualifies that award in full rather than reducing it — so check your headroom before you apply, not after. Check your headroom for Malta.
Who can apply
- Under 4 years old
- micro enterprises
- Stage: idea stage, pre-seed and seed
- Locally registered entity required
