You are planning a technologically oriented R&D project and are looking for financial support? We are directly entrusted by the Bavarian Ministry of Economic Affairs with the implementation of numerous technology funding programs. In this task, we advise and support you from the Team Projektträger Bayern with the application and accompany you during the complete funding project.
Furthermore, Projektträger Bayern also acts as funding pilot and is the first point of contact for questions regarding technology-oriented funding programs of the Free State of Bavaria, the federal government and the EU.
Projektträger Bayern - the central point of contact for Bavarian and federal funding programs
We act as a funding pilot who can provide information on the full range of technology funding programs at EU, federal and state level. Likewise, we assist in the development of project ideas and the identification of suitable funding programs, and can refer to appropriate project sponsors if necessary.
Each funding program is organized and administered by a specific project sponsor on behalf of state or federal ministries, to which applications are submitted. Projektträger Bayern is one of these project management agencies. We manage a wide range of technology funding programs in Bavaria on behalf of the Bavarian Ministry of Economic Affairs, Regional Development and Energy, from consulting to application processing and accounting (see: https://www.bayern-innovativ.de/seite/projekttraeger-bayern). We also provide advice on other technology funding programs in Bavaria, Germany and the EU. Advice for artists and creative professionals in Bavaria is provided by our colleagues at Bayern Kreativ. Feel free to call the experts at our free funding guide 0800-0268724 or email us at Contact by Mail.)
Please note in principle that funding applications must generally be submitted before the start of your project to be funded!
No, costs already incurred cannot be funded retroactively. Also, requested projects may not be started until after they have been approved.
The funding programs on which the Projektträger Bayern provides advice are generally intended to promote new technologies or to support research and development. As a rule, the planned funding project must therefore present a technological and economic risk, go beyond the state of the art, and also have positive market prospects. However, the amount of innovation content required for funding depends on the respective funding program and its guidelines.
As a rule, the approval process takes several months. The processing time varies depending on the funding program.
For more detailed information on the scope of funding, the approval process and other details, please refer to the funding guidelines for each funding program. These can be found on the websites of the respective funding programs, some of which we also link to at https://www.bayern-innovativ.de/beratung/ptb/foerderlotse-bayern/seite/auswahl-interessanter-technologie-foerderprogramme.
No, the same project may not be subsidized from different funding pools. However, you may use different funding for different projects. What must then be taken into account are certain upper limits for subsidies that a company may use in total. For example, certain subsidy programs fall under the European de minimis subsidy rule, according to which companies may not receive more than 200,000 euros in de minimis subsidies over a three-year period.
