Agriculture and Food Industry – Growth and Competition

The funding program to strengthen growth and competitiveness in the agricultural and food industry in Baden-Württemberg is aimed at companies, cooperatives, start-ups, as well as agricultural enterprises and actors in the food sector based in the state. The goal is to support investment projects and operational measures that contribute to the modernization of production processes, the opening of new sales markets, and the increase of value creation in rural areas. Through a combination of grants for consulting, technology implementation, and infrastructure projects, the program promotes sustainable developments that strengthen regional value chains and contribute to securing jobs in the agricultural and food industry in the long term.

The funding is awarded continuously and covers areas such as business financing, regional development, as well as consulting and qualification measures. In particular, investments in digitalization, resource efficiency, and cooperation within production networks can be subsidized. The L-Bank, as the development bank of Baden-Württemberg, manages and advises on this grant program. With its broad range of financing and expertise services, it supports founders as well as established enterprises from the application process through to successful implementation. Through practical support, a decisive contribution is made to increasing innovation capacity and securing a future-proof agricultural and food industry in Baden-Württemberg.
