Programme description
The programme aims to make the region more attractive, innovative, green and inclusive. In doing so, investment into the green and digital transition will play a key role.
The EU support will transform the region economy through support for innovation, the development and digitalisation of small enterprises and the development of the digital sector. Cohesion funds will intervene in helping the region's green transition, including support for sustainable urban mobility, energy efficiency measures and adaptation to climate change actions.
In addition, the programme will mostly target the lifelong learning and career transitions in order to face the under-utilisation of the workforce combined to a structural skills mismatch. They will also support measures for employment access and improving their education and training systems. A budget is also allocate to opening up Hauts-de-France cities by improving their access and traffic flows, making them more attractive and give better access to public health services especially in rural areas.
Finally, the French region will receive EU grants in order to tackle the socio-economic consequences of decarbonising its polluting industries. Key industries in the region such as metalworking, non-metallic mineral production, and chemical industries will be supported in their climate transition.
The programme will support the region to develop a circular economy, diversify its economic base and create new jobs. It will invest in industrial research projects of local small and medium businesses (SMEs) on recycling technologies and support incubators and advisory services specialised for SMEs and start-ups.
