Programme description
Main objectives
The strategy and the priorities of the ERDF OP 2014-2020 of the Land Schleswig-Holstein aim at the creation of a business environment that promotes innovation and sustainable economic growth while ensuring attractive jobs and contributing to an evironmentally friendly development of the region. These priority settings will deliver a significant contribution to the implementation of the Europe 2020-Strategy for an intelligent, sustainable and inclusive growth.
Schleswig-Holstein sets major accents for a development based on economic growth and employment considering the needs identified in the socio-economic and subsequent SWOT-analysis, as well as the country specific rec-ommendations and overarching strategies, in particular the Regional Innovation Strategy (RIS3). The following priority fields will be supported through the operational programme:
- Targeted investments into growth-oriented and sustainable economic structures, as well as measures to achieve sustainable value creation,
- Promotion of innovation, knowledge society, knowledge and tech-nology transfer, as well as cultural potentials,
- Promotion of measures to reduce CO2-emissions, including measures to increase energy efficiency and the use of renewable energies in small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs),
- Protection of the environment and promotion of resource efficiency.
Beyond this, the specific support to the Western Coast of the Land through an integrated territorial investment (ITI) - as an innovative implementation tool for selected parts of the operational programme - forms also an integral part of the strategy of Schleswig-Holstein. The ITI "Western Coast: competence region for tourism and energy" shall be implemented within the framework of competitive calls while addressing the specific regional perspectives. The fore-seen volume of the support for the ITI is set at EUR 30 Mio. (the whole pro-gramme has an envelope of EUR 271 Mio.)
