# Grant Program

We have identified one of the major obstacles to the development of the IoT and its use to bring innovation to established business sectors. 

This obstacle is the difficulty for start-up projects to finance the hardware design part. 

At CONNECTIFY, we provide a real industrialization and cost-sharing solution for the democratization of the IoT, so it seemed natural to us to help projects get off the ground. 

Our GRANT program is designed to help project leaders finance the design and manufacture of a prototype. We offer financing packages ranging from $30K to $150K to support this stage. We also put you in touch with our partners, both technical, such as tried-and-tested design offices specialized in IoT, and with incubators to help you finance your startup project and get it to market.
