Thuringia Dynamics – innovative

The program targets small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and freelancers in Thuringia who wish to make innovative investments. The goal is to strengthen the regional economic structure, support digital transformation, and secure jobs.

The program supports innovative investments in tangible and intangible assets, as well as modernization and maintenance expenses that contribute to strengthening competitiveness. Certain sectors and costs are excluded from funding.

Funding is provided as a low-interest loan with a minimum amount of 5,000 euros and a maximum of 4 million euros. Flexible terms with grace periods are offered, and a liability exemption for house banks is possible under certain conditions.

For application, an application must be submitted through the house bank before the start of the project. The program is subject to the GBER and De minimis Regulation, with the aid value corresponding to the interest advantage. There are specific restrictions on eligible costs and publicity requirements for larger projects.

The application process is carried out through a credit institution (house bank) to the Thüringer Aufbaubank (TAB). Approval is based on private law, and the proper use of funds must be demonstrated.

The funding program is based on the Thuringia Dynamics – innovative – EU funding period 2021–2027 guideline and other national and European regulations and laws.
