Investitionsbank Berlin

Investitionsbank Berlin (IBB) is the development bank of the State of Berlin. We are committed to sustainability, are pushing ahead with digitalization for the benefit of our customers and promote diversity.

In our business areas of economic development, property and urban development and labor market promotion, we support one thing above all: Berlin. In economic development, we help support the city’s economic recovery by providing tailored funding and financing solutions for companies of all sizes, industries and stages of development. This makes it possible to promote further and consolidate Berlin’s versatility and strength as a business location. Our product portfolio includes various financing options, including loans, equity investments and grant programs. With financial offers and comprehensive coaching, we focus in particular on small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), start-ups and founders in Berlin.

IBB also supports Berlin-based technology companies, research institutions and universities in the research and development of innovative products and processes. We also help Berlin companies to implement innovative projects, integrate modern technologies, operate more sustainably and drive digitalization within the company.

In real estate and urban development, we are a partner for all real estate-related funding and financing issues and support landlords, tenants, investors and homeowners in particular with low-interest loan programs and grants. Since affordable housing and climate neutrality are key future issues for our city, we particularly promote the construction and acquisition of new housing and energy-efficient renovations in Berlin.

By promoting the labor market, we are making targeted investments in people and our society. Through a variety of funding instruments provided by the state of Berlin, we ensure the availability of skilled workers, social inclusion and education, thereby strengthening people’s participation in society. The funding itself is provided exclusively by project sponsors.

As Investitionsbank Berlin, we actively shape Berlin and do everything we can every day to make our city even better to live in.
