Support for Science-Intensive Startups (Atbalsts zinātņietilpīgiem jaunuzņēmumiem)
Investment and Development Agency of Latvia (LIAA)
For Latvian companies commercialising a product or technology originating from a scientific institution in the EU, EEA or Switzerland. Covers development salaries, outsourced engineering and marketing, prototype components, lab rent up to EUR 5 000 per month and international trade fairs. The gate is a credible development plan between TRL 4 and TRL 8 — an idea without lab validation will not clear it.
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 Support for Science-Intensive Startups (Atbalsts zinātņietilpīgiem jaunuzņēmumiem) 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.
