Erfurt (dpa / th) - In order to set additional economic impulses in the Corona crisis, Thuringia is increasing the subsidy rates for the economy.
Above all, the hospitality and events industry would be heavily subsidized, said Minister of Economics Wolfgang Tiefensee (SPD) of the “Thuringian General” (Tuesday).
For example, investment projects by small businesses could now be financed by up to 40 percent with EU or state funds.
For large companies, the maximum funding rate has been doubled from 10 to 20 percent.
For companies directly affected by the Corona crisis, up to 50 percent of the investment amount could be borne by the state.
The so-called digital bonus - through which companies can receive grants for IT technology or software - was also opened for the hospitality, retail and event industries.
This could support sales platforms on the Internet, but also models such as Click & Collect, it said.

The higher funding rates were intended primarily to address those companies that would be particularly hard hit by the current situation and are postponing investments.
Areas that tended to benefit from the pandemic - including mail order, logistics, IT service providers or parts of the construction industry - should not be promoted to a greater extent.
