SME's favored in zł.680 million subsidy payout

The money will be administered by the Polish Agency for Enterprise Development (PARP) and will be granted to companies according to new rules. The new rules were introduced by the government to allow SME's to apply for them as the old rules meant that 73% of the funds were granted to big companies like KGHM, which was criticized by EU. Now the money will be available only to those companies whose turnover does not exceed EUR 50 million and employ less than 250 people. The minimum subsidy will be zł.500,000. The biggest funds will be granted to those companies that are innovative and create new jobs. (Puls Biznesu p. 9) M.M.
