Why this matters
Decision makers need a clearer route from AI ambition to execution.
AI opportunity is unclear
You see the pressure to adopt AI, but the use cases, technical path, and commercial upside are not yet concrete.
Funding rules are hard to read
Business Finland can support ambitious R&D, but the application has to prove novelty, risk, market logic, and execution credibility.
Innovation work gets stuck
Internal teams rarely have spare time to turn a rough AI idea into a fundable, well-scoped project plan.

FAQs
Quick answers before the first call.
Who is a good fit for Business Finland R&D funding?
A Finnish company with a scalable business model, genuine development uncertainty, and a project that creates new capability beyond routine product work is usually a stronger fit.
How much funding can an AI R&D project receive?
Many projects land in the EUR 100,000-EUR 500,000+ range, depending on eligible costs, project ambition, company size, and Business Finland's evaluation.
Can BRNSFT help before we know the AI use case?
Yes. The first step is often turning a broad AI ambition into a concrete use case, project hypothesis, and funding path.
Do you work with companies outside Finland?
Yes. Outside Finland, BRNSFT Capital can support R&D and AI projects as an external operator, advisor, reviewer, or project-shaping partner without the Business Finland application component.
Do you guarantee approval?
No consultant can guarantee an independent funding decision. We improve the odds by shaping a credible project, realistic plan, and clear application.
