6. SUPPORT FOR INNOVATIVE START-UPS
Luxinnovation supports companies to apply for public funding:
• Subsidies for R&D/Innovation are granted by the Ministry of Economy for companies
with substantial activities in Luxembourg;
• Subsidies always cover a part of a project based on real costs. Own funds have to co-
finance the remaining;
• R&D/Innovation schemes can co-finance the development of innovative products;
• A dedicated scheme can co-finance the cash-flow need of a start-up during its growth
phase by matching equity investments.
