How do you finance business development? POR 2.1.A program has been launched. Submission of projects starts on July 8

Felder Gruppe Romania draws attention to the POR 2.1.A funding program. They are the first to have prepared, created a dedicated website and a system to help those interested in accessing these funds. I also learned from them.

Who can access these funds

ROP 2.1.A can be accessed by micro-enterprises established before January 3, 2018, which have achieved operating profit at the end of the last financial year. It is not dedicated to start-ups. So it is not a program that helps you discover entrepreneurship, but supports you in the next phase, when your business has passed the first steps and you want to develop it further. This program can provide between €25,000 and €200,000 in funding. The grant must be a maximum of 90% of the value of the project and the co-financing percentage is 10% of the value. All through the ROP 2.1.A program.

What is P.O.R. 2.1.A

The Regional Operational Program (ROP) is one of the programs through which Romania can access European structural and investment funds from the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF). The ROP 2014-2020 has as its general objective to increase economic competitiveness and improve the living conditions of local and regional communities by supporting the development of the business environment, infrastructure and services for the sustainable development of the regions, so that they can manage their resources efficiently and exploit their potential for innovation and assimilation of technological progress.

Under Priority Axis 2, investment priority 2.1 is "promoting entrepreneurship, in particular by facilitating the economic exploitation of new ideas and encouraging the creation of new businesses, including through business incubators". And now we come to ROP 2.1.A dedicated to micro-enterprises. I mean, to you small (a)business (a)people, but with big thoughts! Looks like it's your time!!!
