It's worth it to invest in Potsdam. Investors, companies wanting to relocate, people who want to start businesses, and locals all have access to financial support and funding programs, in accordance with the current funding guidelines in force. These programs include those of the European Union, the Federal Republic of Germany, the state of Brandenburg and the city of Potsdam. As a rule, the goal of the funding is to create and secure jobs, introduce innovative procedures and products as well as to open up new markets. These funding programs partly involve grants (that need not be paid back), and above all, low-interest loans. Other means of funding include the use of co-signers (in the event you lack collateral for a loan) or capital participation schemes (in case you are planning a risky technology-related project).
