What is being funded?

Four partners have joined forces for the EU funding program "Zukunftsregion Hannover-Hildesheim" : Hannover Region, the state capital of Hannover, the district of Hildesheim and the city of Hildesheim.

The future concept jointly formulated in the funding program combines innovative strength and cultural diversity - two outstanding features of our region. Funding is provided for cooperation projects in the fields of action "Regional Innovative Capacity" and "Culture and Leisure" , which have an innovative and sustainable impact in the region with region-wide appeal or as model projects.

Public institutions, municipal companies, cooperation networks and non-profit organizations can apply to NBank for funding for their projects.

The lower limit for eligible expenditure is EUR 100,000 (EUR 25,000 for expert opinions, etc.) for an implementation period of 36 months and with a maximum funding rate of 40% of eligible expenditure.

In addition to the NBank, a regional steering group, which is advised by two expert committees, decides on project funding.

The aim of the funding program is to network the municipalities with each other until the end of 2028 by involving economic and social partners as well as civil society actors, to further develop the Hannover-Hildesheim region structurally and thus contribute to competitiveness .

Consideration of the EU's cross-cutting objectives of gender equality, equal opportunities and non-discrimination, sustainable development and good work complete the program's comprehensive funding approach.

The regional management is available to provide advice on developing ideas for suitable projects and technical support during the application process.
