The role of public funding in enabling companies’ flagship investments is growing both in Finland and in the EU. By granting state aid, society participates in companies’ risk taking and therefore speeds up the green and digital transitions, as well as other key objectives. Securing subsidies and grants is not easy, however, as state aid rules have often been drafted without a proper or up-to-date understanding of the capabilities of industry.

Blic’s state aid services include mapping of subsidy schemes, drafting of grant applications, dialogue with public funding institutions, and advocating for the creation of new, tailor-made subsidy schemes. Blic has helped many of our clients secure public funding in the range of millions of Euros from national and EU-level funding instruments.
