The ministry has allocated €3 million for regional growth: the goal is to attract 30% of investments to the regions by 2030
The Ministry of Economy and Innovation (EIMIN) has allocated €3 million to the public institution “Invest Lithuania” to accelerate the search and attraction of high added value foreign direct investments to the Central and Western Lithuania region. The investments will be directed toward attracting new businesses and creating highly skilled jobs in the regions.
“This will enable us to achieve our goal of attracting 30 percent of investments to the regions by 2030 and reducing the gap between the regions and major cities. With this funding, we are creating conditions for ‘Invest Lithuania‘ to focus more on attracting investments that generate research, experimental development, and innovation (R&D&I) activities in the regions. This will promote the development of advanced technologies and contribute to the goals of the ongoing ‘3‘ plan,” says Minister of Economy and Innovation Edvinas Grikšas.
Funding will be allocated to various investment promotion activities, including organizing visits by potential investors, preparing research, studies, and reports, and other activities.
The project “Promoting a Smart Economy in the Regions through R&D&I Investments” is being implemented by “Invest Lithuania”. The project is funded by the European Regional Development Fund.
