Submit your start-up grant application latest on 10 December

The last possible day to submit a start-up grant application to the Ostrobothnia TE Office this year is 10 December 2024. If you plan to start your business at the beginning of 2025, book an appointment for business counselling at Startia well in advance of 10 December, so that you have time to prepare the calculations, business plan, and other attachments needed for the start-up grant application.

The responsibility for providing TE services will transfer to the municipalities as of 1.1.2025.
