Funding

Under the North-West Regional Programme 2021-2027, the development of smart specialisation parks is funded in two phases: (1) funding for founders and administrators to establish utility infrastructure and prepare the land, and (2) funding for SMEs to boost economic competitiveness by supporting investments in high value-added activities based on advanced technologies and knowledge.

Each funded founder will set aside a pre-reserved budget for at least five resident SMEs. Thus, for SMEs that have signed a concession agreement with the founders selected in the first phase, access to the grant is assured, subject to the pre-reserved budget limits.
