Funding for licensing costs with "Digital Jetzt"

Some companies are already familiar with the federal government's "Digital Jetzt" funding program. But only a few know that, in addition to further training and hardware equipment, license costs are also funded.

The prerequisite is that the application supports the "internal and external networking" of your company and improves your processes.
