Looking to the future
The funds – repayable aid – are granted as part of the “Invest in Pomerania 2020″ grant project implemented by the Pomerania Development Agency. It is part of a broader policy of the Pomeranian Regional Government to prepare new investment areas, the availability of which is an essential element in building the economic competitiveness of each region. Funds awarded under the grants come from the Regional Operational Program for the Pomeranian Voivodeship for 2014-2020. The call for applications has already ended and verification of the last applications submitted by entrepreneurs is underway. The program is expected to result in the preparation of at least 50 hectares of land for investment by the end of 2023. It is estimated that the new projects will create more than 400 new jobs in the region, and entrepreneurs will invest more than 80 million PLN in the region.
– Our goal is the economic activation of areas outside the Tricity agglomeration, often economically degraded, to which we want to restore industrial value. Granted funding from EU funds causes more and more investors from both Pomerania and outside the province to locate their companies here. Each successive signed application, brings us closer to realizing our goals,” concludes Maciej Silarski, Project Manager at Invest in Pomerania 2020.
