Funding strategy

Which public funding is worth it for your company?

In the intro call, Zebra Embassy tells you which public funding is relevant for you today, what can wait, and what we don’t recommend from today’s perspective.

The funding landscape

Zebra Embassy helps you find your way through the funding jungle.

With public funding, what matters is submitting the right application at the right time. Which programme fits also depends on where your company is right now.

A simplification from our practice, as of 10/2026. The transitions are fluid, and in individual cases a programme fits earlier or later. The names are examples, not a complete list and not an offer.

The funding assessment

An assessment in conversation, not a report.

Step 1

Understand

Understand

Zebra Embassy listens and asks: what are you working on, what does the roadmap look like, is a funding round coming up, where are you based, and what funding have you had so far?

Step 2

Assess

Still in the call, we tell you what we see as relevant today, what can wait, and what we don’t recommend from today’s perspective. Each with our reasoning, so you can follow it.

Step 3

Deliver

What fits, we deliver with you: the R&D tax credit, and other programmes in individual cases. A detailed written funding strategy is a separate project.

The assessment is free. It is an estimate based on what you tell us, not a review and not a promise: every application is decided by the respective funding body.
