This programme outlines strategic objectives to accomplish the goals set in the Regional Plan 2050.
Three major programmes for the development of the region:

1️⃣ Stable and dynamic region – aims:
🔹 Sustainable population structure
🔹 Inspiring natural environment and versatile housing opportunities
🔹 Smooth and accessible everyday living
🔹 High quality of life and strengthening wellbeing

2️⃣ Smart and skilful – aims:
🔹 Increasing competence level and expanding the educational offering
🔹 Competent labour force and high-quality working life
🔹 Strengthening innovation ecosystems (SSS=smart specialization strategy)
🔹 International networking (SSS)

3️⃣ Flexible and sustainable
🔹 Climate-smart South Ostrobothnia (SSS)
🔹 Strengthening business focus areas (SSS)
🔹 Renewing practices (SSS)

The SRDEII aims at strengthening the support dedicated to the economic partners within the region (start-ups, PMEs, universities…). The current SDREII program has identified 7 main domains of activity:

𝐌𝐨𝐛𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐞𝐬 - 𝐇𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐭𝐡-𝐧𝐮𝐭𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 - 𝐁𝐢𝐨𝐞𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐨𝐦𝐲 - 𝐂𝐮𝐥𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞&𝐜𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐢𝐧𝐝𝐮𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐬 - 𝐌𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐚𝐥𝐬 - 𝐄𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐠𝐲 - 𝐃𝐢𝐠𝐢𝐭𝐚𝐥

These domains will help identify the needs of local enterprises and define the orientation that the Hauts-de-France Regional Council will adopt regarding entrepreneurs’ support.

The SDREII’s main domains of activity are also aligned on the priorities of the S3 regional policy, defined by 8 total axes:
1️⃣ Maritime Ambition
2️⃣ Sustainable biorefineries and bioresources
3️⃣ Images, contents and interactive medias
4️⃣ Circular economy and new functionalities of materials
5️⃣ Decarbonized energy efficiency
6️⃣ Embedded artificial intelligence
7️⃣ Precision health and civilization diseases
8️⃣ Societal transition and risk management

Amongst those 8 axes, the 7. , dedicated to health and civilization diseases, is arguably the most important for the NOTRE project: ageing is a challenge related to health, thus putting it on the front scene as an important issue to tackle, during the next few years.

Increase support for senior and retired citizens can directly prevent phenomena of desocialization, loss of independence or mental health degradation. All of those elements, as well as the project’s orientation towards digital and green solutions to current societal problems, justify the SDREII’s relevance for the Silver Economy domain.

Emilia-Romagna Regional ERDF Programme is the programming document defining the overall regional strategy and actions on how to use resources allocated to the Region by the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) in the period 2021-2027, in the framework of the Cohesion Policy aimed at strengthen the economic, social and territorial cohesion of the European Union.

The Region's Programme is defined in close coherence with the main European and national strategies identifying ecological and digital transition as the two pillars of territorial economic and social development, strengthening their cohesion and reducing inequalities.

🔹Research, innovation and competitiveness
🔹Sustainability, decarbonisation, biodiversity and resilience
🔹Sustainable mobility and air quality
🔹Attractiveness, cohesion and territorial development

The Programme supports a territorial revitalisation combining job quality, increased productivity, technological, environmental and social innovation, attractiveness and internationalization. Thus leading the regional system towards green transition and digital transformation, while reducing economic, social, gender, generational and territorial inequalities.

Fomento San Sebastián, as economic development and innovation agency, is responsible for launching and implementing the yearly Innovation Plan in order to deploy the city’s strategy E2030DSS. Main lines of the strategy are:

🔹 Development of STEAM skills.
🔹 Contribute to the entrepreneurship among researchers.
🔹 Accelerate new innovative business projects and increase support for new start-ups in the health sector.

EDIOP Plus is Hungary’s largest national programme aiming to improve Hungary’s competitiveness.

It focusses mainly on two objectives:
➡️ The improvement of the productivity of the small and medium enterprises (SMEs), with the objective of enhancing their potential for innovative practices and processes by investing in the whole innovation ecosystem,
➡️ Providing labour market measures, vocational education training (VET) and higher education investments.

The EU funds can help SMEs buy the state-of-the-art technology they need to become greener, more digital, and more productive. A network of enterprise agencies will provide comprehensive and coordinated assistance to all SMEs, specifically to female entrepreneurs, start-ups and enterprises in the least developed regions.
