Microsoft funding for your project

As a certified Microsoft Solutions Partner, novaCapta helps you identify suitable funding for your digitalisation projects and work with you to implement them.

What Microsoft funding can do for your business

As a certified Microsoft Solutions Partner, novaCapta helps companies identify and make targeted use of suitable Microsoft funding for their digitalisation projects.
We work with you to assess which options are best suited to your project, clarify the requirements and support you from the initial assessment right through to implementation.

Microsoft provides dedicated budgets for this purpose, which can offer financial support for selected projects, such as workshops, proofs of concept, pilot schemes or the roll-out of solutions like Azure, Microsoft 365, Copilot, Dynamics 365 or the Power Platform. 

This helps to lower barriers to entry, reduce project risks and get digital initiatives off the ground more quickly.

What Microsoft support options are available for your project?

Microsoft offers a range of options to support businesses in the implementation, further development and use of modern Microsoft technologies. The most suitable option depends on several factors, including your Microsoft environment, your licences, the planned project, and the Microsoft programmes currently available.

Microsoft Funding & Partner Incentives

For selected projects, certified Microsoft partners can provide financial support, for example for assessments, workshops, proof-of-concepts or pilot schemes.

ECIF support

For suitable customer projects, Microsoft funding may be available for deployment, migration, adoption or proof-of-concept services. The assessment and approval process does not take place via a public application form, but through defined Microsoft processes involving partners.

Please note: The availability and level of support depend on the specific project, the Microsoft programmes and the relevant requirements.

Microsoft funding may be relevant for these project areas

Whether it’s a workshop, assessment, proof of concept or pilot project: we’ll help you identify the right Microsoft programmes for your project and support you throughout the process, from the initial assessment right through to implementation.

AI & Copilot

For Copilot, Agentic AI and AI use cases, funding may be relevant, for example, for readiness checks, governance workshops, benefit validation or initial pilot projects.

Modern Workplace / M365

For projects relating to Microsoft 365, migration, adoption, intranet, collaboration or security, we’ll help you find suitable entry-level opportunities.

Azure & Security

For cloud, security and infrastructure issues, assessments, architecture workshops, modernisation projects or governance initiatives can be useful starting points.

Power Platform

For apps, automations and process digitalisation, we work with you to identify which use cases are suitable for a subsidised launch.

reduce budget strain

Microsoft funding can help to provide financial support for the initial phases of a project, such as workshops, assessments, proofs of concept or pilot schemes. This makes it possible to launch projects without placing the full burden on the internal budget straight away.

Reduce risk

Through preliminary studies, assessments, or pilot projects, technologies, use cases, and solution approaches can be evaluated at an early stage. This gives companies a solid basis for decision-making before larger investments or rollouts begin.

Get started faster

With the right support, ideas can be shaped more quickly, early results become visible sooner, and next steps can be planned with greater focus. This helps projects move into implementation in a more structured and efficient way.

Sichere Begleitung

Microsoft Fundings are subject to specific requirements. novaCapta helps you identify suitable opportunities, understand the relevant criteria, and manage the process through to implementation.
