According to the new EU coordinating framework “Joint Task for the Improvement of Regional Economic Structures”, which is in force since January 1st 2022, Frankfurt (Oder) is classified as so called “predefined C regions” until 12/31/2027. Due to its geographical location, companies will also profit from an additional surcharge of 10% on the investment promotion in contrast to other predefined C Regions in the State of Brandenburg. This means: Companies are able to apply for the highest investment incentives possible in Germany if they vote for an investment in Frankfurt (Oder).
