Funding is provided for investment projects by small, medium-sized and larger companies and, within the framework of infrastructure funding, for municipalities whose aim is to create a functional, business-oriented infrastructure, primarily in the regional growth cores. It is also possible to promote tourist infrastructure, primarily in health resorts and resorts.

In addition, non-investment activities can also be funded. On the one hand, this includes the promotion of projects that enable cooperation networks in organized companies and research institutions.
