Bremer Aufbau-Bank GmbH

Bremer Aufbau-Bank GmbH (BAB) has been the development bank for Bremen and Bremerhaven since 2001. Its objective is to promote the stability, innovative strength, sustainable growth, and attractiveness of the Bremen economic location, as well as to improve quality of life through housing programs and support for public institutions. BAB offers small and medium-sized enterprises favorable loans, equity participations, guarantees, and consulting services at all stages – from start-up through growth to succession planning. Additionally, it is responsible for housing promotion and serves as the central contact point for private individuals and housing companies. The Free Hanseatic City of Bremen is legally liable for BAB’s obligations, enabling refinancing advantages that flow directly into the development business.
