The VC Fonds Kreativwirtschaft provides startups with venture capital. The ProFIT innovation program promotes innovations and helps very young startups to set up their businesses with early-stage financing. The coaching BONUS supports business advice. The Joint Task “Improvement of the Regional Economic Structure” (GRW) program subsidizes cooperation networks, investment and infrastructure projects.
