The Sahra Wagenknecht Alliance (BSW) wants to make funding programs for Saxon companies more transparent and easier to access. The BSW is therefore proposing a "funding scout". It could provide bundled information online or also support companies with personnel to find the right funding programs and then advise them on how to apply, says Sabine Zimmermann, head of the BSW in Saxony, to the German Press Agency in Dresden.
Funding programs often too complicated
Funding is an established instrument for strengthening the economy in Saxony. "However, the problem is that there is a proliferation of different funding sources and programs and applications are becoming increasingly complicated," argues Zimmermann. It is unacceptable that smaller companies cannot access the funding pots simply because they are too hidden or the application process has too many hurdles.
Reducing bureaucratic hurdles is an important demand in the BSW's economic policy, Zimmermann continued. "With every alleged bureaucracy reduction law passed by previous governments, bureaucracy has increased, not decreased. This is why the Saxon Regulatory Control Council must be given more powers again in order to actually ensure a reduction in bureaucracy during the legislative process."
