Funds & eligibility

Nine federal areas

The SVIKG finances additional federal investment in these areas (§ 4(1)):

1. civil and population protection
2. transport infrastructure
3. hospital infrastructure
4. energy infrastructure
5. education, childcare and science infrastructure
6. research and development
7. digitalisation
8. construction and housing
9. sport

The investment only counts as additional if the federal budget itself allocates more than 10% of its spending to investment (§ 4(3)). Every new federal measure requires a cost-effectiveness analysis and a success control (§ 10).
