Since April 1, it has been possible to apply for an interesting subsidy: investment subsidies in the field of cybersecurity. Investment projects in the field of IT and cybersecurity are eligible for funding. This includes hardware and software as well as service hours. It is important that the project involves a new investment that must be capitalized. Interestingly, this subsidy also covers the running costs for licences for IT security solutions. Especially in the current situation, where attacks are becoming more frequent, it makes a lot of sense to invest in IT security. We therefore advise everyone to apply for this subsidy! These projects must have a monetary scope of €2,000–50,000. Up to 40% of the costs are covered. We can discuss the possibilities in a short conversation and help with the submission.
