The cultural and creative industries (CCIs) make a significant contribution to Bavaria's economic and innovative development. However, there is often a lack of financial resources to realize promising projects. The State Ministry of Economic Affairs, Regional Development and Energy (StMWi) offers targeted support for promoters with a funding guideline. At our bayernkreativFOKUS information events, you can find out how you can apply for funding to successfully implement your project.
The funding guideline is aimed at promoters, i.e. institutions, organizations, associations and companies that are committed to the cultural and creative industries or individual submarkets. Funding is provided for economically oriented projects and formats - "from the industry for the industry". The aim is to strengthen the competitiveness of the cultural and creative industries in Bavaria, expand networks, promote cross-innovation projects and make creative achievements visible.
Funding is provided for measures that strengthen, network and further develop the cultural and creative industries in Bavaria. These include, among other things
- Measures to build the image and identity of the industry
- Events - from workshops to participation in trade fairs
- Market development measures
- Cross-innovation processes - cross-industry cooperation
- European exchange projects
There are various funding options:
- Flat-rate funding: 2,000 euros or 5,000 euros as fixed-amount funding for events
- Proportional funding for larger projects. The maximum funding rate is 50%; there is no legal entitlement to funding. Funding is awarded subject to the availability of budget funds.
It is aimed at institutions, associations, companies or other organizations whose projects promote not only themselves, but also the entire industry or individual submarkets. The project should provide impetus for the further development of the cultural and creative industries and support networking within the sector.
If your project supports one of the four funding objectives and you would like to apply for funding, we strongly recommend that you attend one of our bayernkreativFOKUS information events. Before you go into the actual application consultation, you should be familiar with the regulations that we present at the information event.
There are currently no upcoming dates.
The State Ministry for Economic Affairs, Regional Development and Energy has set a deadline of three months from the submission of the signed originals to the start of the event.

The StMWi has launched the funding guidelines and commissioned bayernkreativ to provide advice. Take the opportunity and get your project moving!
The StMWi created the funding guidelines and commissioned bayernkreativ to advise on and carry out a preliminary review of the applications. An application for project funding in the form of a grant can be submitted via the funding guidelines - if the project explicitly focuses on the cultural and creative industries and contributes to the further development, strengthening and networking of the CCIs in Bavaria.
