Cash incentives provided in the form of non-repayable grants make up the main components
of this package. The major program directing the allocation of investment grants is the
"Joint Task for the Promotion of Industry and Trade" (Joint Task). The Joint Task regulates the distribution of non-repayable grants for investment costs throughout Germany. Money available through this program is usually distributed in the form of cash payments which are based on investment costs or assumed wage costs. In the case of wage costs, the jobs created must require above average skill levels, provide significant added value or be jobs in a sector with particularly high innovation potential. The actual incentives amount granted varies from region to region subject to respective economic development level. Eligible industries include most manufacturing and certain service industries. Generally speaking, investment projects receiving funds from the Joint Task program must create long-term jobs (i.e. any jobs created have to remain in the investment location for a period of at least five years). Please note that investment incentives have to be applied for before the investment actually commences. |
