August at 100.We are investing PLN 100 billion in the development of Poland

02.08.2024

The holiday season is underway and we are not slowing down as we keep strengthening the Polish economy. In August, it will be possible to apply for more than PLN 100 billion from European funds and under the RRP. Projects in areas such as entrepreneurship, energy, ecology, science, education, social economy and social innovation will be eligible for funding. This will be to the benefit of, among others, entrepreneurs, research and educational institutions and non-governmental organisations.

Position of the Ministry of Funds and Regional Policy

We are investing European funds in two dimensions. The first is cohesion policy and structural funds and the other is the National Recovery and Resilience Plan. These funds translate into very specific investments. During the holidays we are investing funds acquired through the first request for payment under the RRP. After the holidays we will submit further applications,

said Deputy Minister of Development Funds and Regional Policy Jan Szyszko.

Potential beneficiaries across Poland will be able to apply for funding for their projects in as many as 170 contests and calls for proposals.

Including:

  • 30 under national programmes – for a total of PLN 7 billion;
  • 90 under regional programmes – for a total of PLN 5.5 billion;
  • 23 under the RRP – for a total of PLN 87 billion;
  • 27 under the European Territorial Cooperation programmes – for a total of PLN 519.5 million;

New calls

Among the 170 contest mentioned, 27 new contests will be announced in August, including three under the RRP:  

The first is to facilitate the transition of large companies to a circular economy. It is intended to help develop technology for the use of waste as secondary raw materials. The National Centre for Research and Development has allocated PLN 346 million for that purpose.

The second call with a budget of approximately PLN 20.5 billion pertains to the construction of Polish wind power plants in the Baltic Sea. The third call concerns energy efficiency and renewable energy sources in enterprises. It will support the reduction of final energy consumption and the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions. The National Fund for Protection of the Environment will allocate PLN 1.3 million for that purpose.

The other new contests include:

 7 under national programmes – for a total of PLN 500 million;

  • 13 under national programmes – for a total of PLN 405.5 million;
  • 4 under national programmes – for a total of PLN 93 million;

Support can be provided, among other things, in the field of:

  • automation and robotisation of small and medium-sized companies in Eastern Poland;
  • the creation or development of specialised, world-leading research teams and organisations;
  • the improvement of academics’ education standards;
  • the increased availability of psychological and educational counselling for children and families; 

A separate contest – Academy of Social Enterprise Manager – aims to provide the employees of social economy entities with the opportunity to improve their qualifications, particularly in the area of their business activity and management. It targets NGOs, non-profit enterprises and social cooperatives.
