Getting investments moving

In times when credit is not easily available, it makes even more sense to explore the potential of European and national grants, which can finance up to 70% of a wide range of investment projects.

To win these grants you first need to define a business need that might improve your position in the market. It could be anything from building a new production line to establishing an R&D centre, using renewable energy, or HR development.

Wide range of investment projects

Typical European and national funded investments include Greenfield investments, expanding an existing enterprise (by purchasing new machinery and increasing employment), environmentally friendly projects, and investments in renewable energy, R&D or IT centres. Various projects for upgrading employees’ professional skills can be co-financed by EU grants, ranging from improving IT and language skills to e-learning initiatives and MBA programmes.

Funding investments in people and the environment

EU funds also support the introduction of environmentally friendly technologies. Typical projects include modernisation designed to adapt companies to meet environmental protection standards or investments related to sources of renewable energy such as wind farms, water power and biofuels. In addition, as part of support for ‘green energy’ production, cash grants are made available to companies that supply machinery and equipment to renewable energy producers. A substantial amount of funding is available for HR development and employee training.
