County Durham as an EU Transition area has a significant opportunity, through the allocation of European Structural and Investment funds from 2016 to support the County’s economy through improving and supporting the competitiveness of our SME’s. This workshop will bring together partners to discuss and be part of potential opportunities for accessing European funding through ERDF Priority Axis 3.
Partners will be asked to discuss current Business and Enterprise Strategy for the County and initiatives which are already being developed, alongside a challenge to consider innovative and effective projects for support, within the constraints of EU funding compliancy.
If you have a project that could work with businesses and enterprises this is a great opportunity to see the potential to access European funding in County Durham.
