The BayTOU program supports company founders and young companies in the development of new products, processes and technical services.

It is intended to stimulate company start-ups in promising technology sectors and support newly founded companies in order to help create highly qualified jobs and strengthen the competitiveness of the Bavarian economy.

The program is open to company founders from all technology sectors. Funding is provided for technologically and economically risky development projects that aim to build up or strengthen the technological basis of start-ups and small companies.
