Funding for license costs with "Digital jetzt"
Some companies are already familiar with the federal government's "Digital Jetzt" funding program. However, only a few know that in addition to further training and hardware equipment, license costs are also subsidized.
The prerequisite is that the application supports the "internal and external networking" of your company and improves your processes. If this is the case, the federal government will cover the licensing costs of software with a time-limited right of use for up to one year. Both SaaS solutions and on-premises solutions are eligible for funding.
