Feasibility studies
DEG uses funds from the Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) to co-finance feasibility studies of German and other European companies, aimed at laying the ground for developmentally sound investments.
What are the requirements?
- The feasibility study's content is the preparation of a realistic investment project, which should be plausible in terms of successful implementation and profitability.
- The planned investment must have development relevance and dovetail with the overall concept for German development cooperation.
- The costs of the study must be commensurate with the costs of the planned investment.
- The study would not be carried out if public funding was not available due to the ensuing risks and costs.
Who can participate?
Small and medium-sized companies located and operating within Germany and the European Union with an annual turnover of up to EUR 500 million can deliver their proposals to DEG. Important is a firm investment intention, subject to a successful outcome of the feasibility study. The proposing company is capable on a professional level as well as financially to utilise the results of the study and to carry out the planned investment.
What has DEG to offer?
DEG provides a maximum of 50% of the costs for each feasibility study, but in any case not more than EUR 200,000. The proposing company bears a minimum of 50% of the costs for the study and is responsible for its orderly implementation.
