Support for technology-oriented funding projects

Each funding programme is organized and managed by a specific project management agency on behalf of state or federal ministries, to which the applications are submitted. Projektträger Bayern is one of these project management agencies. On behalf of the Bavarian State Ministry of Economic Affairs, Regional Development and Energy, we manage a wide range of technology funding programs in Bavaria, from consulting and application processing to billing (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. You are welcome to call the experts of our free funding guide on 0800-0268724 or send us an e-mail to kontaktatprojekttraeger-bayern.de).

Please note that applications for funding must generally be submitted before the start of the project to be funded!

No, costs that have already been incurred cannot be funded retrospectively. Projects applied for may also only be started after approval.

The funding programs on which Project Management Bavaria provides advice are generally intended to promote new technologies or research and development. As a rule, the planned funding project must therefore involve a technological and economic risk, go beyond the state of the art and also have positive market prospects. However, the level of innovation content required for funding depends on the respective funding program and its guidelines.

The approval process usually takes several months. The processing time varies depending on the funding program.

Precise information on the scope of funding, the approval process and further details can be found in the funding guidelines for each funding program. These can be found on the websites of the 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 pots. However, you may use different subsidies for different projects. In this case, certain upper limits must be observed for the total amount of funding that a company may use. For example, certain funding programs are subject to the European de minimis aid regulation, according to which companies may not receive more than 200,000 euros in de minimis aid within a three-year period.
