Cloud and AI credit programs for established companies — not only startups
Several providers now extend credit programs to SMEs migrating or modernising workloads. Most companies never apply because the programs are framed as startup perks.
Credit programs that used to target early-stage startups are increasingly offered to established companies that migrate or modernise workloads.
Companies planning a migration, a new internal tool or an AI pilot may be able to offset part of the first-year infrastructure cost — if they apply before the work starts.
General public information — not a personalised match.
- Established SMEs, not only startups
- Planning a migration or a new build in the next 6–12 months
- Infrastructure migration
- New internal applications
- AI pilots
- A defined workload or project
- A company account with the provider
- Usually requires an application and approval
- Terms vary by provider and region
Infrastructure credits
Illustrative. Actual amounts depend on the provider, the program and the approved workload.
Lower first-year running cost of a new build
Low to medium
An application, a short project description and, sometimes, a call with the provider.
Credits typically expire; usage beyond them is billed normally.
- A concrete workload to run on the credits
- Credits are usually time-limited
- Not every workload qualifies
If a migration or new build is already planned, applying costs little and the downside is small. Without a planned workload, it is not worth chasing.
This is a general assessment of the opportunity, not of its verification. It may differ depending on your company's situation.

- Which specific programs apply in which regions — to be confirmed per company.
