Which software projects may qualify?

A software project may qualify when your own employees develop technically new software and solve genuine technical uncertainties.

Examples may include the development of:

  • New data-processing architectures
  • Proprietary algorithms or optimisation methods
  • Complex synchronisation mechanisms
  • Scalability and performance solutions
  • Security protocols and cryptographic applications
  • Embedded software and software for connected devices
  • Technically new AI or machine-learning components
  • New mechanisms for processing large or complex datasets
  • Using a modern programming language, framework, cloud platform or API is not enough by itself. The application must explain where existing techniques fall short and which technical solutions your team intends to develop.
