How current is this list?
On 30 Oct 2026 the closing date of each of the 10 listings was read again on the program's own page and matched the table. 10 more listings in my base have a written closing date in January 2027 but were not read again on 30 Oct 2026, so they are left out of this page. Each row says the day its program's page was last read; the rows here were read 30 Oct 2026. 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.
The Berliner Startup Stipendium takes applications from 23 Nov 2026 to 10 Jan 2027; before 23 Nov the form is not open yet.
Women TechEU 2 closes its Full Proposal round (deadline 6) on 14 Jan 2027, 17:00 CET; later rounds close 1 Apr and 8 Jul 2027, and the eligibility check comes first.
No program on these country pages has a written closing date in January 2027: Australia, Brazil, Canada, India, Ireland, Nigeria, Saudi Arabia, Singapore and United Arab Emirates.
