Recognised Innovation Expertise
Bäumer’s intensive research and development work is reflected not only in innovative products but is also supported and confirmed by various funding programmes and awards.
For several years, Bäumer has held the BSFZ seal issued by the Bescheinigungsstelle Forschungszulage (BSFZ), the German certification body for the federal research allowance. The seal is awarded exclusively to companies that demonstrably conduct research and development and meet the requirements for Germany’s tax-based R&D funding. It confirms that development projects involve technical innovation, are carried out systematically and address scientific and technical challenges.
In addition, R&D projects at Bäumer receive public funding, for example through the Central Innovation Programme for SMEs (ZIM) and the 8th Energy Research Programme of the German Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Action (BMWK). Both programmes help companies advance innovative technologies, sustainable solutions and forward-looking development projects.
For customers and partners, these awards and funding commitments are visible proof of Bäumer’s innovative strength, technological expertise and future focus. They show that new developments do not remain mere ideas but are successfully put into practice through systematic research and targeted funding.
Funding as an Opportunity for Innovation: How Bäumer Customers Benefit
Innovation, investment and technological advancement are key building blocks of sustainable business success. Yet many companies are unaware that attractive funding programmes are available for a wide range of projects. The challenge is often not so much obtaining funding as finding the right programmes in the first place.
This is exactly where Robert Günnel, funding expert at Bäumer, comes in. He specialises in identifying suitable funding opportunities and supporting funding applications for research, development and investment projects.
Using Funding to Enable Growth
Whether it’s new machinery, digitalisation projects, automation solutions or R&D activities: for many projects, funding programmes are available at regional, national or international level.
Robert Günnel supports projects from the initial potential analysis and the selection of suitable funding programmes through to the application and its administration. He not only supports Bäumer but also advises companies from a wide range of industries on making use of public funding.
Especially for investments in modern production technology, digitalisation or sustainable processes, funding programmes can make a significant contribution to financing and noticeably accelerate projects.
Research and Development as a Driver of Innovation
Companies that want to stay competitive must continuously invest in new technologies, processes and products. R&D projects in particular often involve high costs and risks. Funding can help companies implement innovative ideas faster, build additional development capacity and make investments economically more attractive.
Many companies already use funding programmes successfully to finance or refinance their R&D activities. The result is new products, innovative processes, digital solutions and forward-looking technologies that, without such support, would often be realised much later or not at all.
Public funding creates financial headroom for innovation, shortens development times and makes it possible to consistently drive ambitious projects forward. At the same time, it can help generate new patents, intellectual property rights and technological competitive advantages. For many companies, it is therefore an important building block for long-term innovation and success.
Check Your Funding Potential
Many companies leave funding opportunities untapped, even though their projects would in principle be eligible. Often, they simply lack an overview of the many programmes available.
Are you planning an investment, a digitalisation project, a new production line or a development project? Then it pays to check potential funding options at an early stage.
Robert Günnel helps you identify suitable programmes and assess the funding potential of your project. In many cases, companies can make use of grants or other funding instruments they had not even considered.
Take this opportunity and find out whether your project is eligible for funding.
