How this list is made

For every programme with an application link we read what its own website or application form says about applicants from outside the country, and quote that sentence here and on the programme’s page. “Open” means the source says so in as many words. A condition is the source’s own — relocating, incorporating after selection, a local partner. “Not stated” means the site says nothing either way: ask before you apply. Investors and angel networks are listed by where they say they invest.
