German term or phrase: Bestandsunternehmen

From a text about financial assistance, the types of companies that qualify and the type of assistance given.

One of the bullet points under "Wir wird gefördert?" is: "Bestandsunternehmen in Branchenkompetenzfeldern".

established companies

Explanation:
Another possibility, Jan.

This would fit with "Branchenkompetenzfeldern" which basically means that these are companies that have developed/acquired expertise in their respective industries.
