Cascade Funding Calendar with Kaila

9 June 2025

Access to European funding is key for startups, SMEs and technology centres. One of the most agile channels is Cascade Funding, a mechanism that enables the distribution of EU funds to third parties through simplified calls. But how can you stay up to date with these opportunities? The answer is: Kaila.

What Is Cascade Funding?

Cascade Funding, also known as Financial Support to Third Parties (FSTP), is a tool from the European Commission designed to promote innovation. It works by distributing funds through already funded projects. These projects then launch open calls to support other entities that bring value in specific technological fields.

Why Is It Attractive?

Simplified process
Direct funding, with no institutional intermediaries
Ideal for testing innovative solutions in real-world environments
High networking potential

The Challenge of Tracking Open Calls

A major obstacle is that these opportunities are scattered across multiple platforms. There is no centralised base, nor a predictable publishing schedule. In addition, many of these open calls have very short application windows.

Common issues include:

Information spread across different project websites
Lack of personalised alerts
Difficulty identifying the most relevant calls based on your technological profile
