Public funding for new business opportunities in CEE
On 18 May we hosted a webcast where we talked about the new programming period 2021-2027, which opens up opportunities to fund projects through several EU programmes. It is a challenging task to select a suitable programme, or a call for proposal so that the investment activity you are planning is justified.
We shared insights into these areas:
- investment decisions & your business case outline
- selection of a suitable programme to finance your business plans (Grants & Incentives roadmap)
- preparation and submission of project applications.
The event was hosted by Mieczysław Gonta, Partner, Tax & Legal Department from PwC Poland and Zuzana Palkechová, Senior Manager, State Aid services, PwC Slovakia.
We were joined by external special guests. Many thanks to our panelists:
- Michał Paschalis-Jakubowicz, CEO at Oktawave, Poland
- Marianna Čierniková, Technical Specialist at Rona, Slovakia.

When local businesses expand into new markets outside their home country, it doesn’t just improve their profitability, but also builds the host country’s economic prosperity.
Entering new markets often comes with a number of questions relating to the performance of the selected economy and the support businesses can obtain from governments seeking to attract business to their countries. Our PwC CEE network has prepared this guide to make it easier to search for investment opportunities and shortlist the most attractive CEE markets for expansion.

ESG agenda
Since its launch two years ago, the European Green Deal brings new legislation into play which aims to encourage and penalise businesses to operate in a more carbon efficient and sustainable way. Simply put, the European Green Deal is one monumental, legislative action plan for achieving carbon neutrality in the EU by 2050. And it is one which will increasingly affect carbon emissions, business operations and taxes in the next few decades.
