Fit 4 Digital Programme
Fit 4 Digital is a programme offering guidance and co-funding to businesses spearheaded by Luxinnovation and supported by the Ministry of the Economy.
It includes 2 phases:
- Phase 1: businesses can have a consultant provide an assessment of their level of digital maturity in terms of IT infrastructure, cybersecurity and software. The assessment is accompanied by a detailed plan listing various costed actions that could be implemented to improve the business’s digital readiness.
- Phase 2: the business then chooses whether or not to implement all or some of the recommendations listed in the detailed plan.
How to apply?
The business must file a Fit 4 Digital application (see ‘Forms/Online services’ here) before accepting a quote that binds it to a consultant.
The application process includes the following steps:
- The business chooses the consultant with whom they wish to work and files their grant application/Fit 4 Digital application through the Luxinnovation online platform;
- Luxinnovation confirms the eligibility of the business’s application;
- The business submits the grant application to the Ministry of the Economy;
- The Ministry of the Economy confirms receipt of the application.
