The Chain Projects Subsidy offers SME entrepreneurs the opportunity to realize circular projects in the product or material chain with their chain. Think of a circular product, service or business model.
About the subsidy
The subsidy will reopen for the fifth time on April 4, 2024. Per application, the subsidy reimburses a maximum of 50% of the costs up to a maximum of € 20,000. The scheme helps entrepreneurs in the SME sector to work circularly with their chain.
The intended applicants want to design a product or service circularly with their chain partners or set up a circular process or business model. The chain applies for the subsidy as a partnership and hires an experienced process supervisor to streamline the approach.

The subsidy is a maximum of € 20,000 per entrepreneur in a circular chain collaboration. In a circular collaboration, at least 3 and at most 6 entrepreneurs work together.
In 2024, the total available budget is € 4,750,000. You can submit an application from April 4, 2024 at 9:00 am to September 4, 2024 at 12:00 pm.
