In the 2022 Communication " Putting people first, securing sustainable and inclusive growth, unlocking the potential of the EU’s outermost regions” (COM (2022) 198 final), the European Commission committed to rolling out an on-demand advisory tool to help outermost regions shape their regional development plans; reforms and investment agendas; enable synergies between opportunities under EU funds and programmes; and improve their administrative capacity.With this advisory tool, public and private organisations such as regional authorities and economic operators - including in particular SMEs- based in the outermost regions can request individualised, tailored advisory services with a view to increasing capacity, knowledge and access to EU and non-EU programmes, funding instruments and tools. We encourage stakeholders from the outermost regions to seize this opportunity specifically created and tailored to these regions.
