Innovation support

Bremerhaven attaches considerable priority to supporting research and development in companies, or in conjunction with research establishments. Research and development projects in single companies, partnerships between companies and joint projects conducted by companies and research institutes can receive subsidies up to 75%.

We support small and medium-sized companies wishing to protect the results of their R&D activities by obtaining intellectual property rights (patents and utility models). Grant assistance covering 50% of the eligible expenditure, up to a maximum of € 7,500, is given for patent searches, filing patent applications, obtaining patent protection abroad, etc.
