Łukasz Leszczyński, a specialist in obtaining EU funds, presented the New Perspective 2021-2023, which can already be used or will be available in the coming months. The expert discussed the "Smart Path" programmes for small, large and medium-sized enterprises. He also explained how to obtain a refund for an investment using the "Technology credit" measure. – As part of the "Smart Path" and "Technology Credit", companies implement product innovations and new technologies; under the "Ecological Credit" they can obtain co-financing for investments that will increase the energy efficiency of production processes in the company. The scope includes thermal modernisation, replacement of a technological line and even lighting - explained Łukasz Leszczyński.
Subsidies from EU programs for automation and robotisation are in the pipeline and targeted at SMEs from eastern Poland.
- If someone decides not to participate in EU schemes, they can take advantage of the tax relief obtained for setting up a new enterprise, increasing production capacity, introducing new products, changing the production process. The amount of this relief may reach as much as 70 percent of the investment expenditure, explained Łukasz Leszczyński.
