Central Innovation Programme for SMEs (Germany)

• ZIM (Zentrales Innovationsprogramm Mittelstand) is a funding programme for small and

medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with business operations in Germany which want to

develop new or significantly improve existing products, processes or technical services.

Public and private non-profit research and technology organisations (RTO) acting as a

cooperation partner of a SME are also eligible for ZIM-funding.

• The programme is open to all branches and technological sectors. ZIM provides a

reliable source of support for innovation efforts since 2008. The redefined ZIM

guidelines have been published on 15 April 2015 and applications can be submitted

continuously until 31 December 2019. All German applicants have to file their own ZIM

application in German language.

• The aim of ZIM is to sustainably increase the innovative capacity and competitiveness

of SMEs including craft businesses and independent professions. Thus the programme

contributes to economic growth and the generation of new jobs. All German SMEs up to

499 employees are eligible for funding.
