Improved application process for ZIM
The new ZIM Directive has been in force since 01.01.2025
ZIM already has a long tradition - now it has been optimized in some areas. Young and small companies in particular will have better opportunities for funding in future. Additional supplementary services have been included in the market launch area. In addition, freelance IT development services can now be included.
AiF Projekt GmbH is now the project sponsor for cooperation projects, while VDI/VDE Innovation + Technik GmbH is responsible for feasibility studies, individual projects and innovation networks and their R&D projects.
