ZIM applications now possible again
Despite the difficult fiscal situation, the federal government has sent a clear positive signal for the ZIM in the 2022 federal budget and in the government's draft budget for 2023.

This means that applications can now be submitted to the ZIM again.
Strong country – good life
This is how it continues: Dialogue process
"The citizens know best what their towns and communities in rural areas need. That is why we want to specifically promote local engagement in order to create the projects and framework conditions needed there. We are now starting a dialogue process with citizens, associations, clubs and local politicians in which we pass on information, facilitate exchange and take on board suggestions for new ideas," explained Hinz.
The online platform www.land-hat-zukunft.de/ is now available and presents all funding instruments and collects best practice examples on an interactive map. As soon as it is possible again, regional events will also be held to strengthen networking and knowledge transfer.
