Impact Funding Resources
The Financial Support to Third Parties (FSTP) initiative within I3-4 Biofertilizers aims to overcome financial and technical barriers faced by small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in adopting biofertilizers and implementing circular and sustainable agrifood practices.
The I3-4 Biofertilizers FSTP provides cascade funding to SMEs across Greece, Italy, France, Spain, Portugal, Belgium and Hungary. Each SME receives a financial voucher of max €60,000 to develop feasibility studies, investment plans, and go-to-market strategies, complemented by comprehensive technical and advisory support.
This support includes access to mentors, expert networks, pilot testing infrastructures, and decision-support systems, enabling SMEs to innovate and scale their sustainable agriculture solutions effectively.
The ultimate goal is to enhance the interregional value chain of biofertilizers and promote a resilient, circular bioeconomy in the European agricultural sector.
