European funds for ecological innovations - Grants of 800,000 to 1,5m euros for small and medium-sized enterprises
The European Commission provides half of the required funds for the implementation of projects dealing with the commercialization of technologies, products and services that have a positive effect on the environment.
The invitation is open for small and medium-sized enterprises in the EU countries, as well as for SMEs in countries that are potential candidates for the EU membership. Electronic applications will be received until September 8.
Our enterprises whose projects get "green light" from Brussels can count on individual grants ranging between 800,000 and 1.5m euros.
In order to give basic information and advices on how to make a good project to apply for aforementioned grants, the Serbian Chamber of Commerce organized an expert workshop on June 27 in Cacak, in association with the Ministry of Economy and the National Agency for Regional Development.
Slobodan Spasovic, owner and director of the company Cini, spoke about significance of the development of Cacak's economy on that occasion. Stjepan Lakusic, professor at the Faculty of Civil Engineering in Zagreb, talked about his own experience in that domain. He was approved a grant for his project from the 2010 CIP Eco Innovations programme.
