Many AI and digitalisation projects are grant-eligible — in Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Poland and through EU programmes. The bottleneck is rarely the money; it is finding a partner who designs the project cleanly, supplies the required contribution to the application and then delivers it too. That is exactly what weooo does — across borders and from one source.
Pure funding consultants do not deliver implementation. Pure agencies do not know the funding logic. weooo combines both: we design the grant-eligible project, support your application with the required quote and cost plan — and implement the solution as your service provider. Depending on the programme, our delivery fee is partly grant-eligible.
We support your project end to end — while always staying in the role that funding law foresees for a service provider.
We define the grant-eligible project with you: use case, AI relevance, benefit and market exploitation — shaped to fit the specific programme.
For almost every programme, the service provider’s quote is a mandatory part of the application. We supply the quote, the cost and delivery plan and support you on the technical side. You always remain the applicant — we support, we do not decide for you.
As an external, paid delivery partner we provide the funded service — and our fee is (partly) grant-eligible.
See what we deliver technically in our AI solutions and across all our services.
Do not start any work and do not sign any contract before the grant is approved — otherwise the funding is lost. This applies in DE, AT, CH, PL and for EU programmes.
There must be no corporate ties between the client and the contractor. As an external service provider, we meet this condition.
Evidence of the delivery partner’s suitability is often required. We provide it — with 200+ projects and demonstrable AI expertise.
A selection of the most relevant programmes, as of June 2026 — conditions and deadlines change constantly, so please check the official status before applying.
On a permanent basis the Research Allowance (Forschungszulage) (a tax credit on R&D including AI/software development; contract research is eligible), ZIM (innovation grants) and, in NRW, the MID digitalisation grant from NRW.BANK.

EDIH (European Digital Innovation Hubs — free support for SMEs, an ideal entry point), Eurostars (transnational R&D projects, ideal for DACH+PL collaborations) and the EIC Accelerator for AI start-ups.

Programmes such as aws AI-Start / AI-Adoption (which require a delivery partner with demonstrable AI competence who attaches a quote to the application) and KMU.DIGITAL.
Cantonal advisory and innovation contributions as well as — since re-association at the end of 2025 — joint Horizon Europe / EIC projects with German partners.

Dig.IT (ARP) and FENG Ścieżka SMART — AI/ML are explicitly eligible, and implementation by external service providers (subcontractors) can be funded.
weooo is a digital and AI agency from Dortmund, Germany, focused on mid-sized companies in DACH and Poland. We have been bringing AI into companies for years — GDPR-compliant, with data protection as a core competence. For funded projects that means: one partner for concept, application contribution and implementation, who understands the technology just as well as the funding logic.
As a German agency with a local team in Poland, we are also the German-Polish bridge for cross-border projects.
Concept, application contribution and implementation — from one source. We think funding logic and technology together, instead of bolting one onto the other.
Often yes — as implementation or contract research, our fees are partly grant-eligible depending on the programme. We clarify the exact scope for each project.
No. Your company is always the applicant. We support you with the concept, the required quote/cost plan and technical guidance.
No. Funding is never guaranteed (competition, budget limits, sometimes lottery procedures). We raise the quality of the project — the funding body decides.
No project start and no contract before approval — otherwise the funding is forfeited.
That depends on the country, company size and project. In an initial call we identify the suitable programmes and align the project with them.
Tell us about your project — we identify the suitable programmes and tell you honestly what is realistic.
