The objective of the CuR initiative is to identify factors that limit economic growth in developing regions of Europe and, based on that, to provide them with advisory assistance in the form of customized activities. These region-specific activities correspond to each region’s selected developmental problems, and therefore contribute to the reduction of the identified limitations. The result is improved conditions for investment and economic growth. In the third round of the initiative, implemented in 2018-2019, one of the areas of intervention indicated in the action plan for the Podlaskie Voivodeship were the issues related to establishing a regional mechanism to support micro, small, and medium-sized enterprises in the scope of access to financing, as well as solutions, enabling implementation of the region’s developmental objectives using financial instruments. This study summarizes the work on financial instruments, included in the action plan for the Podlaskie Voivodeship, performed between July 2018 and January 2019.  Exibir menos -
