Small business discounts
ECMWF has adopted the classification of businesses of the European Commission and will apply discounts to 'micro' businesses, i.e. companies with less than 10 staff headcount, and an annual turnover or balance sheet of no more than 2 million euros.
Once granted, a 50% discount is applied to Information Charge on real-time data. This discount will not be applied to maximum charge customers or customers with the European-cut out licence. For archive licences, a 50% discount is applied.
Companies apply for this 'Micro' business discount will need to provide self-certification declaring their business status and are obliged to notify the licensor of any changes in its status. For example, if a company becomes a 'Small' business. ECMWF reserves the right to validate such a certificate.
