The Wałbrzych Special Economic Zone “INVEST-PARK” and the Center for Energy Technologies would like to invite you to the conference “TECHNOLOGIES-INNOVATIONS-INVESTMENTS”, which will be devoted to the new EU financial framework 2014-2020 and the possibilities of applying for subsidies within domestic and international programs.
The priority for both the national government and regional authorities is a modern and competitive economy based on the best R&D infrastructure and promising technologies. Out of € 2,252 million that has been allocated to the Regional Operational Program of Dolnośląskie Province, the provincial government is planning to spend at least € 415 million on the “Enterprises and Innovations” axis. Another excellent source of funds for financing R&D projects is the Intelligent Development Operational Program. More than € 392 million will be allocated to projects connected with low-emission economy, especially the production and distribution of renewable energy sources, increasing the energy efficiency of SMEs and implementing low-emission strategies. Support for actions in this field can also be received within programs of the National Fund for Environmental Protection. A number of very interesting solutions will be offered by international programs, including LIFE+, Horizon 2020, and Climate-KIC.
– Within the next few years, active, innovative and courageous entrepreneurs will be offered huge opportunities for development. It may well be the last time when the chance is so excellent and the money so huge. Apart from attracting investors, which is the most important task for any economic zone, our priority is also making sure that business in the region can function as well as possible – says Barbara Kaśnikowska, President of the Wałbrzych Special Economic Zone “INVEST-PARK”.
