📋 Tender Overview
The Bavarian Ministry of Economic Affairs will continue to support innovative regional development in Bavaria. The new state development funding guidelines support innovative projects in the regions and thus make an important contribution to equal living and working conditions throughout Bavaria. Economics Minister Hubert Aiwanger: “We want to strengthen the regions’ competitiveness and position them for the future. That’s why we are continuing the regional management funding that is in high demand from the districts – and with improved conditions.”
The funding currently includes around 200 individual projects on the topics of competitiveness, settlement development, climate change, demographic change and regional identity, which are implemented by around 65 regional initiatives, primarily at district level, with a total funding volume of around 11 million euros per year. The project ideas always come from the region and address the local challenges. The maximum annual funding amount is 175,000 euros per year for regional initiatives and up to 300,000 euros per year for metropolitan regions.
The State Development II funding guideline expired at the end of 2023. The new funding guidelines for state development III came into force on January 1, 2024, so that regional management funding remains seamless. The conditions were optimized by introducing an additional funding amount for larger regional initiatives, the new special funding “target formation process” for the development of a regional development strategy and the possibility of extending the special funding for transformation processes. All information about the funding guidelines and application can be found on the regional management website .
