What is supported by the Investment Bank of the State of Brandenburg (ILB)?
To establish a new company successfully, adequate funding is a must. This funding can come from either private sources or state-owned banks, which offer low-interest rates and long repayment periods that benefit new businesses. The Investment Bank of the State of Brandenburg (ILB) is one such bank that provides liquidity to promote the innovative spirit of young entrepreneurs and creative minds. This allows companies to invest in qualified personnel, modern equipment, and technical devices, thus becoming more attractive to highly innovative business initiatives.
For small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), personnel costs for qualified employees can often be a significant hurdle for new hires. In the city of Berlin, many highly trained specialists and academics are ideal candidates for these positions. To address this issue, the ILB has created a funding program that subsidizes personnel costs for companies in the Brandenburg region. This program helps businesses attract and retain highly qualified personnel, further promoting regional innovation and growth.

The platform is ISO 9001-certified and has facilitated the acquisition of human bio specimens for biomedical researchers in a fast and reliable way.
