Programme financing

Programme financing will be covered in the National Budget each year and may include co-financing from the autonomous communities.

The budget is estimated to stand at 500 million euro for the period 2007-2013, co-financing from the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) comes to approximately 100 million euro and additional financing will be provided by those Autonomous Communities that so desire within the framework of the SME Sectoral Conference.

Out of the annual amounts budgeted for this programme, a sufficient sum will be kept aside to fund supraregional projects in which companies from several different de Autonomous Communities participate.
