Bayerische Forschungsstiftung supports research, development, and technology transfer that strengthen the Bavarian economy, with a clear emphasis on future-oriented innovations and industrial transformation. Its funding is aimed primarily at Bavarian companies and research partners working on applied, technology-driven projects in areas such as digitalization, materials, energy, mobility, and life sciences. The foundation is distinctive for backing both innovation projects and transformation efforts for firms undergoing structural change.
Program-based grant funding focused on applied R&D and transformation projects in Bavaria; likely competitive and tied to thematic calls rather than open-ended general support. Grants appear to target companies and collaborative innovation projects, with support oriented toward practical implementation and economic impact.
Check the foundation’s program pages for current calls under the two funding tracks and confirm Bavarian eligibility before applying. Applicants should frame projects as applied, innovation-oriented initiatives with clear economic relevance for Bavaria, especially those involving company transformation, digitalization, or emerging technologies.
