Research allowance for cap-on

October 5, 2022
The development of our lIoT platform for equipment-as-a-service, including the risk model for asset financing, enabled cap-on to qualify for a research grant.

Research and development promote innovation and progress and are thus important drivers of economic growth.

For this reason, the Federal Ministry of Education and Research has introduced a research allowance for research and development projects to support SMEs in particular. The aim of the research allowance law is to strengthen the innovative power and thus the competitiveness of the German economy.

The development of our lIoT platform for equipment-as-a-service, including the risk model for asset financing, enabled cap-on to qualify for such a research grant.

This milestone again shows the relevance of our business model and encourages us in our further approach!
