A total of € 83.2 million should be allocated for industrial renewal through five projects under the auspices of the Agency for Science, Innovation and Technology (MITA) by 2021. €.
Some projects already approved by the Investment Committee meeting in the Ministry of Finance may raise doubts. For example, the project “Industrial reorientation through digital technologies and development of the circular economy” is allocated 50 million. It is expected to create 500 new jobs.
It turns out that a new job will cost 100,000. euros? The MITA representative, Karolina Urbonaitė, told Delfi that it would be inaccurate to say so.
“Because under the aforementioned measure we pursue two objectives: generate, transform jobs and reduce pollution indicators in companies,” he said.
The project defines two outcome indicators. T. and. 500 would create new high value-added jobs or transform existing jobs. These jobs are required to be held until 2030.
The second indicator is that the amount of waste generated in the supported companies would be reduced by at least 5%. either the number of recyclable waste would increase by at least 10%, or the amount of secondary raw materials used in the products would increase by at least 5%.
Investments in industrial transformation amount to 35 million. euros. Another 14.7 million Euros 300 thousand are allocated for investments in the implementation of small digital technologies and Euros 300 thousand. it will be difficult to administer the support.
“We plan to finance 150 projects under the measure. A call for project applications is planned for October 2020. The first projects should start in November 2020, ”said the chief specialist of MITA’s Legal, Procurement and Evaluation Division.
4 more projects
MITA will coordinate four more long-term approved projects from the long-term investment promotion plan developed by the Ministry of Finance.
The project “Joint Science Business Projects for Technological Development” will promote cooperation between science and business by developing or improving new research and experimental development (R&D) products based on the scientific knowledge generated.
It is expected that by 2021 30 projects will be completed, whose R + D + i product area is related to the theme of the participating doctoral student or young doctor of science.
A total of 70 joint research and study institutions and business projects are managed. 12 million are destined for this. euros.
1.2 million should be distributed to 100 companies in the project “Support for new innovative activities in the short term”. euros.
A company must introduce innovations that are defined as follows: “New or substantially improved products or processes, including production, construction, construction or other processes, new marketing methods, new business, workplace organization or external communication methods , introduction to the market, public administration, social and cultural sphere ”.
As a result, the revenues of the companies participating in the project are expected to increase by 20%.
Green innovation will also be encouraged. The project, called “Inocheques Verdes”, aims to distribute 5 million. euros.
This amount is expected to be distributed among 108 companies, whose investment in technological eco-innovation would reach 100% in 3 years. The value limit of a project is 50 thousand. euros.
“Currently, there are no measures to promote eco-innovation, whose value is up to 50 thousand. euros. For example, the volume of activities financed under the measure “Eco-innovations LT +” is 50 thousand. up to 1.5 million – read in the annex to the plan.
He also explains that the target group for this project are micro, small and medium-sized companies.
Finally, DNA for the economy of the future is destined to drive the development of biotechnology. It is said to be currently unsustainable and its potential is not being exploited. Therefore, the allocation of 12 million. The objective is to develop innovative products that are attractive to the market and increase the competitiveness of companies in the sector.
It is expected that by the end of 2021, 45 products, services or processes (or their prototypes) will be developed, 15 companies will participate in projects together with research and study institutions and 9 patent applications will be filed.
As you know, the long-term investment economic development plan prepared by the Ministry of Finance, called “DNA of the economy of the future”, provides for a total of 6,300 million. euros.
New investments are expected to amount to 2,200 million. EUR 4.1 billion has already been accelerated and already planned investments have been accelerated. euros.
There are currently 15 projects approved in the plan, but the weekly investment committee should approve more. Read about them in other Delfi posts.
