New EIS grant: up to €5,000 for business software adoption

Author: Olga Lustsik

EIS has opened a new digital grant covering up to €5,000 for business software adoption or integration costs. The grant is best suited for smaller, concrete digitalization steps.

The Enterprise and Innovation Foundation (EIS) opened on 4 March 2026 a software adoption and integration grant to help Estonian businesses take their first steps towards digitalization. The total budget is €1 million and applications are accepted on a rolling basis until the budget is exhausted.

Key conditions:

  • Grant amount: €2,000 – €5,000 (up to 50% of eligible costs)
  • Covers adoption of new business software, integration of existing solutions, and digital advisor services
  • Engaging a digital advisor is mandatory (up to 50% of the grant amount)
  • A company representative must have completed the free e-course “Ettevõtte digitaliseerimise koolitus” on the Digital State Academy platform
  • The company must use e-invoicing or adopt it by the end of the project
  • Project duration up to 18 months, deadline 31 August 2029
  • The grant is paid out as a lump sum after the project report is approved – no cost or payment documents need to be submitted

Who is this grant for?

Considering the maximum grant is €5,000 and up to half may go to the digital advisor, this grant is best suited for smaller, concrete digital steps. For example:

  • A small manufacturing company looking to implement warehouse management software and needing help with setup
  • A service company wanting to integrate its accounting software with a CRM system to reduce manual work
  • A company switching to new project management software and needing guidance on choosing the right solution
  • A retail company looking to connect its e-commerce platform with its business management software

This is not a grant for large-scale software development – rather a good opportunity to take a specific first digital step with the support of a professional advisor.

Applications are submitted via the structural funds e-support portal at etoetus.rtk.ee. More information: eis.ee/teenused/rte_tarkvara_toetus
