This article is part of the special feature GründerNavi – for founders and young companies

The Rhineland-Palatinate Ministry of Economic Affairs provides the budget for the grant program for "freelance support for business consultancy for start-ups in Rhineland-Palatinate" of the Investment and Structural Bank of Rhineland-Palatinate (ISB). The funds for the current year are almost exhausted.

Due to the strained budget situation, it is currently not possible to provide additional funds. Therefore, the ISB will no longer accept new applications until the end of the year. This will be possible again from January 2024. Further information will follow if there are any changes.
