Get funding

SPRIND (Federal Agency for Disruptive Innovation) is a German government initiative designed to identify, fund, and accelerate breakthrough innovations that address major technological, social, economic, and ecological challenges. Unlike traditional funding agencies, SPRIND does not operate fixed grant programs but offers bespoke, flexible support tailored to each project’s needs. Its mission is to bridge the “valley of death” between research and market, focusing on high-risk, high-impact projects that are often too early-stage or unconventional for private funding. Support includes not just financing, but also access to expert guidance, business services, and networks to help innovators bring their ideas to market.

Overview

SPRIND represents a bold, flexible approach to public innovation funding in Europe. By focusing on high-risk, high-reward projects and providing tailored support—including non-dilutive grants, equity, and deep expert guidance—SPRIND fills a critical gap left by both traditional public funding and private venture capital. Its multi-stage evaluation and focus on impact over profit make it a unique catalyst for disruptive change, particularly for early-stage teams and technologies that could reshape entire industries.
