Funding Programs

KreaSocTech Grant Program

Initial investments and necessary financing often represent a significant hurdle for small businesses.
The KREASOCTECH grant program, offered by the Department of Economic and Structural Development of the City of Mannheim, helps bridge this gap. Grants cover up to 50% of eligible
investments, ranging from €1,000 to €10,000. The program targets small and micro-enterprises in the creative industries, social economy, or technology-oriented businesses in Mannheim.

EXI Vouchers

The step into self-employment is often accompanied by challenges due to a lack of business or legal knowledge. EXI vouchers provide founders with access to free, targeted consultations with
experienced start-up experts. The program focuses on green innovation, social entrepreneurship, and other innovative university-based start-ups. EXI vouchers allow participants to continue
benefiting from a well-established, regional, low-threshold pre-start-up advisory service.
