In the Kujawsko-Pomorskie Voivodeship, more than €22 million will be invested in clean transport and to significantly improve the resilience of the health system. A large part of these investments will also contribute to climate-related expenditures to support the green transition in the region, including the purchase of a zero emission rolling stock.
In the Podlaskie region, more than €14 million are invested in small and medium-sized companies (SMEs), the health sector and the development of renewable energy. Supported investments include, in particular, the purchase of equipment enabling SMEs to work remotely; increasing the availability of e-services in the health sector and support for photovoltaics installations in households.
In the Podkarpackie region, more than €24 million will be used for the digitalisation of health services and the development of renewable energy sources like photovoltaics.
