Projects & Practice

Supporting vulnerable people and facilitating their re-integration into society through small volunteer jobs on local farms.

A company that was focused on field crops diversified its activities by setting up a business incubator to boost the economic development of an area with high unemployment.

A start-up business in Finland used RDP financing to carry out a feasibility study which helped lower the risks in upscaling their production capacity of biocomposites.

In response to the increasing number of tourists, a small accommodation provider used RDP support to increase the capacity of his business and set up leisure activities.

A Finnish NGO used EAFRD funds to develop a network of nature-based service providers  and activities to support their development such as study trips and work groups.

LEADER funding in two subsequent projects helped a small metalware company grow its size and capacity and take advantage of new market opportunities.

Thanks to a LEADER supported investment, a shoe repair and manufacturing enterprise constructed its own production facility benefiting from savings on rent and easier access to the market.

EAFRD funding enabled setting up a sawn timber production company in northeast Greece that employs modern equipment and contributes to the local economy by using local resources.
