Bavarian Ministry of Economic Affairs, Regional Development and Energy

We focus on maintaining Bavaria's competitive edge as a business location, strengthening Bavaria's economic performance, supporting start-ups and creating attractive employment opportunities.

Tasks & objectives 

The Bavarian Ministry of Economic Affairs, Regional Development and Energy works in myriad ways to consolidate both the competitiveness of Bavaria as a business location and the efficiency of Bavarian companies. That is why we promote innovation, support company founders, and enable the creation of attractive employment opportunities. In this way we generate prosperity for everyone in our federal state.

Bavaria as a location faces great tasks ahead, one of which is digitalisation. This is a challenge for the world of work and people’s lives that we in Bavaria have taken on resolutely. The guiding principle in our regulatory policies here remains the social market economy. It brings together competitive efficiency with social justice and is therefore the guarantor of our success.

    „The Social Market Economy is based on the principles of freedom and order which, if harmony is to reign, must in my view constitute an indivisible whole; for where there is freedom without a firmly established order there is the danger of it degenerating to chaos, and where there is order without freedom, it all too easily results in brutal coercion. “
