The funding program Start?Zuschuss! supports technology-oriented business startups from all over Bavaria. Young startups with a future-proof, innovative business model that operate in the area of digitalization and whose founding dates back a maximum of two years are eligible for funding.
As part of the Start?Zuschuss! competition, startups selected by a jury receive a maximum of 50 percent of eligible expenses. These expenses can include, for example, personnel, rental, research and development costs, as well as market launch expenses. A maximum of 36,000 euros in costs is covered.
