Digitalizing HR and business processes is an important step for many small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) to become more efficient, more attractive as employers, and better prepared for the future. But what funding opportunities are available? Which companies are eligible? What kinds of projects can be funded? And how does the application process work?

Together with the Regional Future Center North (Regionales Zukunftszentrum Nord) and INQA Coaching, TALENTready invites you to a free webinar that will answer these questions.

Our experts, Silke Lorenz (INQA Coaching) and Marvin Mehlhose (Regional Future Center North), will provide a practical overview of available funding opportunities and explain:

  • The financial benefits available to participating companies
  • How collaboration with the Regional Future Center North and INQA Coaching works
  • How companies can apply for funding step by step

Participants will also have the opportunity to ask questions directly to the experts during the webinar.
