Funding · AI Guideline Mecklenburg-Vorpommern

The state pays half of your AI project.

Mecklenburg-Vorpommern introduced its own guideline for funding the use of artificial intelligence on 30 June 2026: a 50 percent grant, up to 50,000 euros, for commercial SMEs with no more than 100 employees. Funded are hardware and software for AI adoption along with accompanying consulting and training. NordFlux turns this into a concrete project that works in everyday operations.

The Problem

The grant is new, the budget is limited, and hardly anyone knows about it.

The guideline has only been in effect since the end of June 2026, and the funding pot is limited. If you are already planning your AI project, you should not postpone the application to next year.

  • 01The program budget is limited and approvals are granted while funds are available: waiting can cost you the grant.
  • 02Only one project per company is funded within three years. A poorly scoped project burns your only shot.
  • 03The application must be submitted before the project starts via the MV-Serviceportal, including an ELSTER certificate: those who order first go away empty handed.
  • 04Buying an AI tool is far from the same as adopting AI: without a clear use case, the funded software just sits there unused.
Use Cases
01

Which AI projects qualify for funding.

The guideline names service delivery, logistics, marketing and sales, and IT security as fields of application. That covers almost exactly what we build as digital employees.

01

AI Agent in Order Processing

An AI agent reads incoming inquiries and orders, extracts the relevant data, and enters it into your system in a structured way. This is AI in service delivery as the guideline defines it, and one of the most common first use cases for small and medium businesses.

Savings 2 to 4 h per week and case
02

Document AI for Invoices and Receipts

Invoices, delivery notes, and receipts are read, checked, and assigned to the right file or booking by AI. The software for this is an eligible purchase, and setup and training run alongside as accompanying services.

Savings no more manual typing
03

AI Telephony for Availability and Sales

A voice assistant answers calls, pre-qualifies inquiries, and makes sure no prospect hits a busy signal. As an AI application in marketing and sales, this is an eligible field under the guideline.

Availability 24/7 instead of busy signals
04

Internal Knowledge Assistant

An assistant that works on your own documents and answers your team's questions about processes, contracts, or products. Your data stays in your own environment, including German data sovereignty, and the rollout along with training is part of the eligible project.

Impact knowledge no longer tied to individual people
05

AI-Supported IT Security

Protection is also one of the guideline's fields of application: AI-supported anomaly detection in Microsoft 365 and Azure, properly configured access, and traceable logs. A useful building block for businesses without their own IT department in particular.

Tools

What we use to build the funded project.

Tool-agnostic by use case, not by partner program: n8n, the Microsoft stack, or UiPath, depending on what fits your system landscape.

AI Agents
Digital Employees

AI agents that take on tasks instead of just answering questions: they read, decide according to your rules, and execute with approval. You keep control over every step.

n8n
n8n, self-hosted in Germany

For many funded projects, n8n is the backbone: flexible, transparent, and self-hosted on German servers if you wish. The expenses for software and setup are part of the eligible project.

AI Telephony
Voice Agents

AI telephony for answering calls, pre-qualification, and callbacks. Off the shelf or integrated into your systems, depending on the use case and the project's budget.

How We Work

From funding application to a productive AI employee.

At a fixed price, in clear steps. The application comes first, since no contract may be signed before it is submitted.

The application is submitted before the project starts and is approved by TBI GmbH in Schwerin. Only after the green light is the contract signed and the project started, so the grant is not forfeited.

We build the digital employee, connect it to your systems, train your team, and hand it over transparently. The receipts for the proof of use are generated cleanly along the way.

Not in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern or Over 100 Employees?

There is more than one funding pot.

If your business does not qualify under the AI guideline MV, that does not mean you have to pay in full: depending on the project, the FuEuI guideline, BAFA consulting support, or federal programs may apply. In our AI consulting, we help you sort that out.

Frequently Asked Questions
05

What businesses often ask about AI funding MV.

How much is the AI funding in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern?

The AI funding MV covers 50 percent of eligible expenses, up to a maximum of 50,000 euros per project. It has been in effect since 30 June 2026 and is limited until 31 December 2027. Each company can receive funding for one project within a three year period.

Who can apply for AI funding MV?

Eligible applicants are small and medium sized commercial enterprises with up to 100 employees and a place of business in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern. The funding is granted as de minimis aid, the application is submitted electronically via the MV-Serviceportal, and approval is issued by TBI GmbH in Schwerin.

What exactly does the AI guideline MV fund?

Funded are hardware and software for introducing artificial intelligence in the business, for example in service delivery, logistics, marketing and sales, or IT security. Accompanying consulting and training services are also eligible as long as they are subordinate to the project. A pure consulting project without an actual introduction does not qualify; other programs such as the BAFA consulting grant exist for that.

How does the application for AI funding MV work?

The application is submitted electronically before the project starts via the MV-Serviceportal, for which the business needs an ELSTER organization certificate. Only after the application is submitted may orders be placed or contracts awarded, otherwise the entitlement is lost. NordFlux delivers the application-ready project along with a fixed-price quote, your company submits the application itself.

Does NordFlux also handle the implementation of the funded project?

Yes, that is exactly our core business: we plan the use case, build the AI agent or automation, connect your systems, and train the team. Implementation and training are part of the eligible project under AI funding MV. You retain control throughout, and every step stays traceable.
