Questions craftspeople ask

How much support is available?

Each selected project receives a €5,000 lump-sum grant, with no mandatory co-financing for the agreed grant amount. Any costs above the grant must be covered by the applicant. The proposed total project cost must be at least €5,000.

When is the grant paid?

The grant is paid in two stages: 70% after the initial project check and 30% after approval of the final report. Payments depend on the agreed activities, outputs, results and contract conditions.

Is mentoring included?

Selected projects receive nine months of free tailored technical mentoring, in addition to the grant.

Are only the five Estonian craft categories eligible?

No. They are outreach examples. The full Call Guide lists a broader range of eligible craft activities and NACE codes. Contact INNOQUEST if you are unsure about your activity.

Can I submit documents in Estonian?

This INNOQUEST service accepts application material in English only. The official call also requires the prescribed application annexes in English.
