What is the goal of the funding program?
The goal of the Digitalbonus.Bayern is to further promote the adoption of digitalization technologies by small enterprises. As part of the Digitalbonus Standard, you can, for example, optimize business processes with ERP systems, make license purchases or introduce platform solutions.
Additionally, the funding program offers the Digitalbonus Plus. The focus here is on innovative projects with a focus on artificial intelligence, robotics or digital twins. To help with the development and integration of these ideas, companies are allowed to seek the help of external providers. This is where Fraunhofer IKS comes into play.

The institute primarily addresses companies with a focus on industry and production.
