Abstract
The German regional policy focuses on supporting structurally underdeveloped regions and municipalities, with its central tools being to compensate the disadvantages, to promote structural transformation and to create competitive jobs due to local economic policies, supporting establishing companies in the regions. The single German aid scheme started in January, 2020 bringing all forms of aid into a single framework, and by unifying the available aid. The Solidarity Pact finished, and the former Eastern and Western rails finally met. The previous priorities, the development of cross-border regions, infrastructure and support for business establishment and the convergence of economically weaker East German Laender were replaced by new objectives. Restructuring of “carbon regions”-also important in the East-, to improve green energy sources, digitalisation and modernisation have been highlighted. We are witnessing an environmentally friendly regional policy that responds to new global challenges, which implemented through various channels, aligned with EU funding .
