EAS+KredEx Innovation Grants
Supports Estonian enterprises with a range of innovation funding pathways across research, digitalisation, and growth.
Ettevõtluse ja Innovatsiooni Sihtasutus (EIS) is Estonia's state innovation agency, the post-2022 merger of EAS and KredEx under the Ministry of Economic Affairs and Communications. This programme line gathers EIS innovation grant routes for Estonian companies, with the agency also running related support through its growth-services index and digital application channels. The grant stack in the 2026 EIS materials runs from smaller support such as the EUR 35,000 digitalisation roadmap grant to larger company development and investment lines, plus Eurostars at EUR 500,000 for joint cross-border R&D projects. The structured record places this umbrella between roughly EUR 32,100 and EUR 2.14 million. The programme is open to Estonia-registered firms, usually with Estonian operations, and several calls are annual or rolling depending on the route. Strong applicants show export traction, new or improved products or services, and a clear link to innovation, digitalisation, or sustainable development. EIS also gives evaluation weight to projects that raise added value and international competitiveness, with some calls favouring delivery outside Harju County. This is a practical grant route for growth-stage firms that can pair a solid business case with measurable development outcomes.
