Individual Fiber Optic Connections for High-Demand Users (Gigabit Premium Plus)

The funding program “Individual Fiber Optic Connections for High-Demand Users (Gigabit Premium Plus)” in Saarland supports companies, public institutions, educational establishments, and non-profit organizations with high bandwidth requirements in the development of high-performance fiber optic connections. The goal is to expand the digital infrastructure in Saarland and ensure a future-proof broadband supply. The Ministry of Economy, Innovation, Digital Affairs and Energy provides grants to reduce the investment costs for customized fiber optic connections. Funding is provided continuously as long as budgetary funds are available, thus offering flexible planning for project managers.

Eligible recipients are those with headquarters or branches in Saarland who can demonstrate their bandwidth needs. Applications can be submitted continuously and are particularly aimed at organizations that rely on very high data rates due to their operational or administrative processes. This measure aims not only to strengthen the competitiveness and innovative capacity of Saarland’s economy but also to optimize digital learning and communication structures in educational institutions. By expanding modern fiber optic lines, the program makes a central contribution to digitalization in Saarland and paves the way for new applications in business, administration, and society.
