## Pricing

from $154.00 / 1,000 grant matcheds

This Actor is paid per event. You are not charged for the Apify platform usage, but only a fixed price for specific events.
Since this Actor supports Apify Store discounts, the price gets lower the higher subscription plan you have.

## What's an Apify Actor?

An Actor is a serverless cloud program that runs on the Apify platform. It has two run modes.
In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours,
and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store.
In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server.

Apify vocabulary and the platform model are defined once, in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md.

## How to integrate an Actor?

If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects.
You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For examples already wired to this Actor's own input schema, see the [API](#api) section below.

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).

# README

## EU & Nordic Grant Finder (AI-matched)

**Which open public-funding calls should your company actually apply for? Describe your company — get the shortlist, matched by AI.**

EU and Nordic public funding is huge but fragmented and deliberately hard to navigate — two-thirds of applicants hire consultants just to find the right calls. This Actor searches the official funding portals, then uses AI to tell you, per call: how well it **fits** your company, whether you're plausibly **eligible**, the **deadline**, and the **key requirements** — all in one normalised English schema.

Sources (all free, keyless, official **open data** — EU PSI Directive / CC0, commercial reuse permitted):

| Source | Covers |
|---|---|
| **EU Funding & Tenders portal (SEDIA)** | EU-wide grants & calls (Horizon Europe, Digital Europe, LIFE, Erasmus+, CEF, …) with deadlines |
| **Vinnova** | Sweden's innovation-agency calls |

No competitor does the **EU + Nordic + AI eligibility-matching** combination.

![EU & Nordic Grant Finder (AI-matched) — input and sample output](https://datatools-hub.vercel.app/actor-shots/eu-grant-finder.png)

### Quick start

1. **Fill in the input** — set the fields in the input tab (prefilled with a working example).
2. **Click Start** — the Actor runs and writes one record per item to the dataset.
3. **Get your data** — export to **JSON, CSV or Excel**, or pull it via the API.

```json
// input
{ "companyProfile": "25-person Swedish deep-tech startup building AI battery-recycling tech; applied R&D + pilots; green-transition funding." }
```

```json
// per-match output
{
  "fitScore": 88,
  "title": "Circular economy solutions for battery value chains",
  "programme": "Horizon Europe · 2021 - 2027 · Research and Innovation Action",
  "deadline": "2026-11-18T17:00:00.000Z",
  "eligible": true,
  "matchReason": "Strong fit: the call targets battery recycling and circular value chains, exactly your R&D focus, and Swedish SMEs are eligible. A consortium is likely required.",
  "keyRequirements": ["EU consortium (3+ countries)", "TRL 4-6", "Circularity/LCA evidence"],
  "country": "EU",
  "source": "eu",
  "url": "https://ec.europa.eu/info/funding-tenders/opportunities/portal/screen/opportunities/topic-details/..."
}
```

***

### Who it's for

- **Grant consultants & innovation managers** — scan every open call for a client's profile in seconds instead of hours; run it per client, continuously.
- **R\&D-driven SMEs & startups** — find the funding you're actually eligible for without reading hundreds of calls.
- **Accelerators / incubators** — match a whole portfolio of companies to open funding.
- **AI agents** — via the Apify MCP server, an agent can answer "what grants can this company apply for?" on demand.

***

### Input

| Field | Type | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| `companyProfile` | `string` | — (required) | Country, sector, size, what you do, R\&D vs deployment, goals. |
| `keywords` | `string[]` | — | Focus keywords; derived from the profile if empty. |
| `sources` | `string[]` | `["eu","vinnova"]` | `eu` (SEDIA), `vinnova` (SE). |
| `minScore` | `integer` | `60` | Only deliver matches at/above this fit score. |
| `maxResults` | `integer` | `25` | Max matches delivered (one charge each). |
| `model` | `string` | `gpt-4o-mini` | OpenAI model. |

***

### Output

One dataset item per matched call: `fitScore`, `eligible`, `matchReason`, `keyRequirements[]`, `title`, `programme`, `status`, `openDate`, `deadline`, `budget` (best-effort), `country`, `source`, `url`. Best fit first; summary in the run `SUMMARY`.

***

### Pricing

Pay-per-event: one **`grant-matched`** event per delivered match.

### Environment variables

| Variable | Required | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| `OPENAI_API_KEY` | **Yes** | Powers keyword derivation + eligibility/fit matching. |

### Notes & roadmap

- **Deadlines:** EU/SEDIA calls carry real cut-off dates; Vinnova submission deadlines live in a separate dataset and are best-effort in v1.
- **Budget** is best-effort (the EU portal nests it in a sub-document).
- **Coming next:** Business Finland (FI), Innovation Norway (NO) and Tillväxtverket (SE) sources.

### License

## MCP server setup

```json

```

The hosted server signs you in with OAuth on first connect, so no API token belongs in this config. Clients without OAuth support can send an `Authorization: Bearer <APIFY_API_TOKEN>` header instead, using a token from API & Integrations in Apify Console (https://console.apify.com/settings/integrations).
