Application for payment of state aid to businesses
Last update
The Ministry of the Economy grants several types of aid to businesses:
- aid for RDI projects: research, development and innovation;
- general aid measures for SMEs;
- investment aid for the protection of the environment;
- financial aid for regional investments;
- aid aimed at stimulating business investments in the COVID-19 period (ICO/Neistart), etc.
Businesses that benefit from one of these aids must submit the application for payment online via MyGuichet.lu.
The aid (capital grant or recoverable advance payment) is usually paid after completion of the project in question. However, one or more instalments may be paid as the investments are made.
