The Investment Bank of the State of Brandenburg has significantly increased its funding activities, allocating over 2 billion euros to various development projects in the past year. This marks a 20% increase compared to the previous year, where 1.6 billion euros were distributed to nearly 4,300 initiatives.
In light of the ongoing economic challenges in Germany, this robust funding is seen as crucial for the development of the Brandenburg region. The bank, operating under the mandate of the state, plays a key role in financing both public and private investment projects.
According to the bank's leadership, the approved funding has facilitated an additional 3 billion euros in investments across numerous sectors. Notable areas of support include the expansion of broadband services in Brandenburg, various digitalization projects, and initiatives aimed at transforming the Lausitz region in response to the transition away from coal.
For the year 2025, the Investment Bank is expected to maintain its strong funding activity. In 2024 alone, approximately 300 million euros were allocated from the Structural Strengthening Act to support 16 larger initiatives in Lausitz. Additionally, the bank contributed around 50 million euros towards enhancing the digital infrastructure of schools.
The bank's investment strategy also included a significant focus on startups and small to medium-sized enterprises. Nearly 20 million euros were directed towards 37 startups in Brandenburg, addressing various innovative fields including medical technology for cancer treatment, artificial intelligence development, and technology for early forest fire detection.
This comprehensive approach to funding reflects the bank's commitment to fostering economic growth and innovation in the region, ensuring that both established and emerging sectors receive the necessary support for sustainable development.
