• You cannot apply if your business concerns manufacturing arms, military ammunition, dual-use products, petroleum products, alcoholic beverages, tobacco products, pharmaceutical products, gambling, agriculture or the IT sector.
• You can apply if you have already received an EU4Business grant. However, your application will likely not be supported if you implement a project within another GIZ programme.
