Funding in Wilhelmshaven (Financial Assistance)

The city of Wilhelmshaven offers comprehensive consulting on investment grants and public financing assistance to companies and start-ups in Lower Saxony as part of its economic development efforts. The range includes both the joint task "Improvement of Regional Economic Structures" (GRW) and funding opportunities from the EU Structural Fund. Interested companies and start-ups receive an individual analysis of their project and tailored research on suitable funding programs. Applications can be submitted at any time, with the general requirement that public grants must be applied for before the planned measure begins. Continuous support ensures that later adjustments or follow-up projects are also taken into account.

Eligible for funding are small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) as well as start-ups that have their headquarters or a planned branch in Wilhelmshaven. The focus is on both investment decisions and start-up projects that are to be supported through grants or low-interest loans. The continuously available financing assistance offers flexible options and enables needs-oriented support from the initial project idea through to implementation. Early contact with the economic development office ensures optimal consulting and increases the chances of success in securing funds. This funding initiative thus makes a significant contribution to strengthening Wilhelmshaven as a business location and supports stakeholders in the long-term development of their enterprises.
