Enterprise Development Programme (Ettevõtte arenguprogramm)
Ettevõtluse ja Innovatsiooni Sihtasutus (EIS)
EIS's main growth instrument for established exporters, funding a multi-year development plan rather than a single project. Applicants need at least two years of trading, at least eight full-time employees, and either EUR 50 000 of export sales last year or average sales growth of 5 % a year over two years. The plan must advance at least one of innovation, digitalisation or sustainability. The mandatory pre-consultation is where most applications are won or lost.
From idea to completed grant — five steps
- Describe the idea. Company name and a few sentences about the project — registration number and sector are fetched from the registry.
- Check your chances. Granteon assesses the project against the criteria in Enterprise Development Programme (Ettevõtte arenguprogramm) and tells you honestly whether it can be won — before you write.
- Write the application. The AI writes from your own facts, scores the draft like an award committee, and delivers it field by field within the portal's character limits.
- Complete the financing. Your own contribution is calculated. You can obtain a signed conditional commitment from an investor, and find consortium partners when the call requires them.
- Deliver and report. Reporting plan, draft reports and budget tracking after the award — until the final report is filed.
