Organisers

Service offer for Berlin!

•     The financial support of promising business ideas
•     The support of new, innovative technologies
•     The creation and safeguarding of high-quality permanent jobs

These are three central concerns of Investitionsbank Berlin.

Especially important: We want to make you fit for the future! That is why we organize the Berlin-Brandenburg Business Plan Competition. In addition, a wide range of regional, national and European business development services are available to you.

You want to start a business? "Berlin Start", our special program for start-ups, with loans of up to 250,000 euros is your first choice. If your financing needs are not so great, but you want the process to be quick and unbureaucratic, our microloans of up to 25,000 euros are a good option for you. Last but not least, we offer grants as initial start-up financing through the "GründungsBONUS" program.

For established companies in the growth phase, IBB offers the "Berlin Kredit" program in addition to other products. This primarily provides funding for small and medium-sized companies that are already established in the market, as well as for freelancers. However, IBB also has suitable products available if companies have temporary liquidity problems and need to stabilize.

Service and cooperations

In addition, IBB supports numerous institutions that contribute to Berlin's economic development. These include, for example, IBB Business Team GmbH, where IBB's coaching and consulting services are bundled.
