ELIGIBLE FOR UP TO 85% FEDERAL SUBSIDY AND COUNTRIES
Shaping the digital transformation: “Digital Now!
The German Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy (BMWi) creates the economic policy framework and supports companies: SmartCountr installation can be subsidized by up to 85 percent from the federal and state governments. The new “Digital Now” funding program started on September 7, 2020 and supports companies with 3 to 499 employees with investments in two modules: Module 1: Investments in digital technologies, especially hardware and software. The program offers financial grants and is designed to encourage companies to invest more in digital technologies as well as in the qualification of their employees.
Who?
This module supports investments in software and hardware, especially for the internal and external networking of the company.
Support is provided for investments in digital technologies and related processes and changes in the company. These investments must be specifically identified by the applicant. This includes in particular hardware and software that promote the internal and external networking of companies, for example under the following aspects: Data-driven business models, artificial intelligence (AI), cloud applications, Big Data, sensor technology, 3D printing, and IT security and data protection.
This module helps companies to train employees in the use of digital technologies.
Funding is provided for investments that improve the qualifications of the company’s employees – particularly in the development and implementation of a digital strategy in the company, as well as in IT security and data protection, but also quite fundamentally on digital working and the necessary basic skills. For more information on the requirements for the qualification measure, see “What quality requirements must a training provider meet for Digital Now in Module 2 and how do I prove them?”.
Important: Companies can apply for funding in one or both modules.
How?
The funding is provided as a grant that does not have to be repaid. Companies have a maximum of 12 months to implement their funded digitization project. The grant is paid out after a successful audit of the proof of use. The maximum funding amount is 50,000 euros per company; in the case of value chain and/or network investments, it can be up to 100,000 euros per company. In module 1 as well as in case of cumulative use of modules 1 and 2, the minimum subsidy amount is 17,000 euros, in module 2 it is 3,000 euros. The subsidy is calculated proportionally to the investment costs of the company. The subsidy rate (in % of the investment costs) is graduated according to the size of the company.Thus, smaller companies receive a slightly higher percentage subsidy. The program runs until December 31, 2023.
