Custom software for Malta businesses.

• It is run by the Measures and Support Division, and calls are published on fondi.eu.
• It can part-finance up to 50% of eligible costs for investments in Malta and 60% in Gozo, under the EU de minimis rules.
• The official guidance sets the grant between €10,000 and €128,400, including a 7% flat rate for indirect costs. Advisers report a higher minimum for the current call, so very small projects may not qualify.
• Commercial and custom software are eligible costs. Fees for design, marketing and other consultancy are not, so a marketing website on its own is unlikely to count.
• You apply with an investment proposal or three quotations for each item, from external, unrelated suppliers. Spending only counts once it is approved in your grant agreement, so the build starts after approval.
• The current call opened in July 2026 and, according to adviser summaries, runs to 31 December 2026 with periodic cut-offs, plus a separate allowance for AI projects.

How it fits with a build

Use the quote builder and say you’re interested in the grant. You get a scoped brief and a fixed quote with its technical specification, phased so the first phase is a clear, self-contained project. Your business applies, and the build starts once the grant is approved. Nothing here is a promise of funding: approval is decided by the scheme, not by me.
