Joint Task "Improvement of Regional Economic Structures" (GRW) – Supplementary Regulations

The GRW Saarland funding program is aimed at commercial enterprises in Saarland that create or secure jobs through investments, as well as companies that contribute to the transformation towards a climate-neutral and sustainable economy. The funding is limited to specific structurally weak areas in Saarland and aims to improve the regional economic structure.

The program promotes commercial investments that contribute to the creation or securing of jobs or advance the transformation to a climate-neutral and sustainable economy. There are clear guidelines for eligible and excluded costs, as well as for the type of projects supported.

Funding is provided as a grant for eligible investment costs, with the exact funding amount depending on the company size, funding area, and type of investment. There are specific upper limits for investments per created or secured job and minimum investment volumes.

Funding is tied to various conditions, including the implementation of the project in a designated funding area and compliance with specific regulations. The application must be submitted before the start of the project, and the overall financing must be secured.

The application procedure for GRW Saarland is clearly structured: applications must be submitted to the responsible ministry with the required forms before the start of the project. The allocation of funding is at the discretion of the granting authority.

The funding is based on Saarland's Supplementary Regulations for GRW, which specify the coordination framework of the federal-state joint task and apply specific EU state aid regulations.
