Start-up support in Saxony

Zwei junge Gründer besprechen ihr Projekt

Saxony is a founding state!

For those who take the step to self-employment, the Free State offers a range of support instruments in the form of grants or loans. In particular, it supports knowledge-intensive and technology-oriented start-ups. These create new markets and are particularly strong growth drivers. The Sächsische Aufbaubank - Förderbank (SAB) is the central point of contact for start-up support in Saxony. In the following overview the spectrum of the SAB is linked. The programs include pre-founding offers and help with the further development/growth of young companies, when investments are made or when innovations as well as research and development tasks are pending. If a project has already been started, this usually rules out support from the outset. It is important to find out about the relevant procedure before entering into legal obligations with the licensing office. In addition, Saxony's administrative districts and independent cities offer regional funding instruments, which can be obtained from the local business development offices. The federal level also supports young companies and founders with numerous programs.
