Funding Guide 2026 – A concise and clear overview of all BAFA funding schemes
Every year, the new Funding Guide is published, offering businesses, local authorities and private individuals comprehensive guidance on the wide range of funding programmes available in Germany. The key question for many applicants is: Which funding programmes are currently available, and which programme is best suited to my specific construction or investment project?
The Federal Office for Economic Affairs and Export Control (BAFA) plays a key role in this regard. On behalf of the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Action (BMWK), the agency implements a wide range of national funding programmes and acts as the central point of contact for numerous economic and energy policy support measures.
The Funding Compass brings these programmes together clearly in a single publication and provides transparency within an often complex funding system. It offers detailed information on existing funding opportunities, application requirements, target groups and eligible measures. In addition to established programmes in the fields of the energy transition and climate protection, the Compass also covers funding opportunities relating to energy efficiency, renewable energies, business support, innovation, digitalisation and sustainable transformation.
Particularly at a time of increasing demands for energy efficiency, decarbonisation and competitiveness, a structured overview of available funding schemes is of particular importance. The Funding Compass helps you make well-informed investment decisions and make the most of financial opportunities.
Which funding programme is suitable in each individual case depends on various factors. These include, amongst others, the sector, the size of the company, its location, the planned scope of investment and the specific technical measures. Legal and funding-related framework conditions also play an important role.
To identify the right programme and avoid common mistakes when submitting an application, it is advisable to seek individual advice. The BAFA provides information materials and guidance on the application process for this purpose. Familiarising yourself with the funding conditions at an early stage significantly increases the chances of success and enables strategic planning of the project.
The Funding Compass is therefore an up-to-date and practical reference guide that provides guidance, offers planning certainty and significantly facilitates access to government funding.
