Lists / Closing in December 2026

Startup grants, accelerators and competitions closing in December 2026, every country

Short answer. 25 listings on the country pages close in December 2026, in 6 countries: 21 grants and 4 accelerators. By country: United Kingdom 10, Germany & EU 4, United States 4, Brazil 3, Canada 3, Australia 1. Closing dates run from 1 Dec 2026 to 31 Dec 2026.

That is 25 listings (25 different names: a program open in two countries is listed under each) out of the 102 that have a written closing date on the 10 country pages; the most are in United Kingdom (10). The other 289 of the 391 not-closed listings have no written date and are left out. Of the 22 programs open to founders in any country, 0 have a written closing date in December 2026; they are on the open-anywhere page, not in this table.

Closing in December 2026 (25)

Soonest first. The closing date is the program's own words. A date with a time is in UTC. Open the program's page before you apply: dates and terms change.

What this list does not tell you

It does not say whether you are eligible: many rows are limited to a place, a field or who the founder is, and the program's page is the rule. It does not include programs with no written closing date, and it never converts or rounds an amount. A row is a listing, not a different program: a program open in two countries would be listed under each. It is information, not advice or an offer. A program is not listed once its deadline has passed or when its link was found dead on two checks in a row.

DOE Genesis Mission closes on 17 Dec 2026 for second-phase applications from teams that won a first-phase award in 2026; a team without one cannot use that date.

No program on these country pages has a written closing date in December 2026: India, Saudi Arabia, Singapore and United Arab Emirates.
