📋 Tender Overview
The economic and technological structural change poses special challenges for many Bavarian regions. The Free State is therefore significantly expanding its support in the context of regional management funding with improved conditions. The new regional development funding guidelines will enable economic areas that are particularly affected by the effects of the transformation to benefit from increased special funding in the future.Bavarias Minister of Economic Affairs Hubert Aiwanger emphasizes With our targeted regional policy we are helping locations that are struggling with serious economic upheavals and the associated consequences such as massive job cuts. We see this as an example in regions in which the automotive sector is strongly developed. The special funding of up to 150000 euros per year enables the local political and social actors to jointly shape the change and the opportunities it brings. We want to maintain the economic power in the regions by creating optimal framework conditions for growth prosperity and sustainable jobs. In addition to the special funding for transformation processes the funding guidelines contain further innovations in regional management. For regions that experience significant socio-economic and infrastructural disadvantages due to military facilities of the German Armed Forces or the US armed forces the funding conditions have been extended. This enables us in particular for the Upper Palatinate military training area of Vilseck Hohenfels and Grafenwhr to develop future prospects and to put the economic structure on a broader basis. We are already in close dialogue with the local communities and neighbors in order to establish regional networks and get project funding of up to 1.2 million euros off the ground for the next three years explains Aiwanger. In order to promote efficient space management regional initiatives can also be funded with up to 50000 euros per year if they implement space-saving projects. Locations that have not yet established a regional management can in future receive support with strategy development. If the process includes extensive public participation funding of 75000 euros per year over a maximum of two years is possible. And for the Bavarian metropolitan regions of Munich and Nuremberg the funding amounts will be doubled to up to 300000 euros per year. This takes into account the special importance of the metropolitan regions in positioning Bavaria in global competition. Minister of Economic Affairs Aiwanger emphasizes the importance of regional management for the development of Bavaria Strengthening our regions is one of the central instruments for successfully leading Bavaria into the future as a living space and business location. With targeted fast and unbureaucratic regional management funding we create the framework for equal living and working conditions in metropolitan and rural areas. We will provide around twelve million euros in funding for this in the coming year. With the new funding guidelines for regional development which will come into force on January 1 2021 Bavaria is continuing its success story in regional management. There are now over 60 regional initiatives in the Free State that benefit from the funding program. The regional management serves the networking and cooperation of regional actors and supports them in the development of innovative solutions for pressing questions of the future. Funded projects come for example from the areas of space saving climate change securing skilled workers settlement development or setting up a mobile local supply.
