Investment Promotion (Investment Volume from €20,000)

The investment promotion of the State of Tyrol supports micro, small, and medium-sized enterprises with a commercial location in Tyrol to sustainably strengthen their economic performance and competitive position. Investment projects with a volume of €20,000 or more are eligible for funding, provided they result in a significant optimization of the operational structure or an improvement in the offerings within the small-structured Tyrolean economy. Accommodation and gastronomy businesses are excluded, as they can be funded separately under the "Tourism and Regionality" sector. With a funding rate of 5% to 10% of the eligible costs, expenses for technology implementation, operational infrastructure, or other investment costs can, for example, be covered. Additionally, bonuses for start-ups as well as a sustainability bonus of up to €5,000 are possible to particularly reward environmentally oriented measures.

Applications can be submitted from March 1, 2024, to December 31, 2027. For the application, the completed application form, the relevant funding guideline, and the required accounting documents must be provided. The funding program provides one-time grants, the amount of which depends on the type of operational measure and the regional funding area. SMEs with project-relevant initiatives in the manufacturing sector also have the opportunity to realize larger technological investments exceeding €700,000 and benefit from additional regional surcharges in the Lienz district. The State Administration of Tyrol ensures transparency and efficient processing of funding procedures through clearly defined funding guidelines and straightforward online forms.
