What is Cascade Funding?

Cascade funding, also known as Financial Support to Third Parties (FSTP), is a mechanism used in EU-funded projects to distribute funding to external innovators like startups, SMEs, and individuals. This funding is equity-free, meaning you retain full control of your project while receiving financial support to scale and succeed.
