“Circular Construction” pilot funding in Munich

The state capital of Munich has launched a new pilot funding program for circular construction. This is intended to support innovative projects in the area of the circular economy. The aim is to promote construction projects that contribute to the implementation of circular approaches in a new way.
Munich is becoming a circular city

What is being funded?

The pilot funding is aimed at construction projects that
pursue a circular approach (e.g. through sustainable choice of materials, modular construction methods)
have not yet commissioned the construction services
are investment. Examples of investment projects include: conversions (e.g. from office to residential), comprehensive renovations, new buildings or extensions of existing buildings.
