Entrepreneurs & Startups
Are you working to grow your business and do you want to take advantage of—or are you already using—grants or other forms of public funding? If so, it’s important to understand how the rules regarding state aid work. With the right knowledge, you can increase your chances of a successful grant application, avoid unnecessary delays, and ensure that your business is ready for further growth.
The Campus Coalition, in collaboration with Lysias, is therefore organizing a Masterclass on State Aid for Businesses on October 6 (3:00–5:30 p.m.) at Space Werkcafé in Groningen.
During this hands-on masterclass, Melvin Könings will guide participants through the key rules governing state aid and the financial conditions that come into play. You’ll receive clear explanations, practical examples, and concrete tools that you can immediately apply within your organization.
