On 29 September 2023, the Ministry of Economy of the Slovak Republic published a call for proposals from the Program Slovakia under Priority: 8P1 Just Transition Fund, aimed at synergistic support of projects that qualified for regional investment aid.
The support is intended for large enterprises for the acquisition of machinery, apparatus, equipment and long-term intangible assets (industrial rights, licences, know-how) that qualified for regional investment aid under Act No 57/2018 Coll. on regional investment aid (Investment Aid Act). The acquisition of land and buildings are excluded, even if the assets form part of the eligible investment costs under the Investment Aid Act.
The objective of the call
To support investments with a focus on job creation in selected districts in the Trenčín and Košice self-governing regions, which are among the regions designated for support from the Just Transition Fund (JTF).
