Know and use support programmes

In an increasingly competitive market, companies face the challenge of combining economic success with sustainability and climate protection. But how can funding programmes be used in a targeted manner to support investment in these future-oriented topics?

There are numerous funding opportunities for sustainable projects, climate protection measures, research and development, digitalisation and internationalisation. The key is to identify the right programmes and make the most of them. This involves not only submitting applications, but also fulfilling the associated documentation requirements and adapting investment planning to new regulatory requirements – for example, in the area of ESG reporting.

A structured approach helps to make the funding process efficient and secure the best possible benefits. It is important to consider all relevant aspects at an early stage and develop a strategy that covers both financial and regulatory requirements.

Every client and every eligible project has individual needs and requirements that must be taken into account. For this reason, we rely on a fixed sequence of methodologies that are tailored to the specific circumstances and objectives of our clients.

In 2023, the Federal Office for Economic Affairs and Export Control (BAFA) paid out over €8.83 billion in funding programmes for the economy and climate protection. These figures show that funding for businesses and private individuals is being used more and more.
