The so-called Corona Matching Facility (CMF) is aimed at already or then for the first time VC-financed start-ups (1st Pillar), while the Federal Government wants to support non-VC-financed start-ups via the existing state companies and state funding institutes (for business promotion) (2nd Pillar).
The official programme description of the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy can be found here: Link.
Pillar 1:
Pillar 2:
Both Pillars are intended to reach as many start-ups as possible while maintaining a minimum standard of quality.
The BEITEN BURKHARDT Start-up Team monitors developments on a daily basis and will set up a online seminar as soon as the specific program conditions are available.
