Saxony supports 15 further start-up projects

InnoStartBonus Call 14 launched: Applications for family-friendly start-up funding are possible until October 2025

Dresden, May 26, 2025 - The family-friendly start-up funding program InnoStartBonus is entering the next round: In the 13th funding call, 15 innovative start-up projects were selected for funding. The decision was made as part of a competitive process carried out by futureSAX GmbH together with a panel of experts.

Monthly support for founders

Following successful approval by the Sächsische Aufbaubank (SAB), a total of 23 people, 7 potential female founders and 16 male founders, can look forward to financial support. The funding comprises 1,050 euros per month for a period of one year. In addition, four founders will receive a child bonus of 150 euros per dependent child.

Tailwind from politics

The fact that the InnoStartBonus is being awarded for the 13th time shows the strength and diversity of start-up ideas in our country.

Panter also announced that he would meet some of the new founders in person at the Saxon Innovation Conference on June 25 in Dresden.

futureSAX Managing Director Susanne Stump underlines the importance of the InnoStartBonus within Saxony's innovation ecosystem: "The combination of financial support, individual coaching and a family-friendly approach makes the program unique." The great interest in the current call for funding and the commitment of the expert committee are particularly emphasized.
