ING Grant Program for start-ups and young scientists
About the program
We want to help people be one step ahead in life and in business. We believe that only by working together we can care for the common good - the natural environment. Our everyday decisions and actions determine what the future of the next generations will look like.
In the Green Statement announced in 2021 we undertook to create a grant fund for start-ups and young Polish scientists to implement projects in the area of sustainable development. For this purpose we allocate PLN 2 million per year. We organize 2 editions each year.
For whom?
Solutions can be submitted by start-ups and young scientists who have a solution that is at least at the prototype stage. Ideas should be tested with customers or confirmed by scientific research.
Therefore, if:
- you are creating a start-up that has ESG in its DNA
- you are a student or graduate and have ideas on how to make the world a better place
- you are a group of young, talented scientists who share a common goal and enthusiasm
The programme is for you!
