Production-Integrated Environmental Protection – PIUS Consulting

The PIUS consulting funding from the state of Hesse targets small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with a business location in Hesse. The aim is to support these companies in optimizing their production processes and in the environmentally friendly and efficient orientation of their service and trade activities.

The funding focuses on consulting services in the area of production-integrated environmental protection. This includes an overall view of the company or specific individual aspects such as energy, waste, water, and material. The measures aim to improve existing processes.

The program offers financial support in the form of grants for consulting services. The amount of funding is set per consulting day, with a maximum number of consulting days per year being eligible for funding. The project duration is tied to the calendar year.

Specific conditions apply for participation in the PIUS consulting program, particularly regarding the maximum consulting duration and general provisions. No separate conditions for consortia or detailed budget restrictions are listed.

The application process is handled centrally by RKW Hessen GmbH, which offers comprehensive support to companies, from consultant recommendations to ensuring the receipt of funding. The details of the specific selection process are not explicitly mentioned.

The funding program is based on the Start-up and SME Funding of the State of Hesse. This forms the legal basis for the implementation and general provisions of the program.
