What is the deadline for applications to calls opened under the HIT-30 Program?
There is no fixed application deadline. However, once the targeted number of projects and capacity for a given call are reached, the receipt of new applications for that investment area will be closed.
Until what period can the special incentive packages defined under HIT-30 be utilized?
The aim is to complete the investments by 2030. That said, depending on the subject and nature of the investment, final completion may be extended beyond 2030, provided that the investment reaches a specified stage by 2030.
Will applications be accepted in areas other than areas with active calls?
Yes. Applications in high-technology areas covered by the HIT-30 Program but not currently subject to an open call may also be evaluated. Investment applications that meet the fundamental requirements of HIT-30 may be considered based on the characteristics of the investment, even if no call has yet been issued.
Will the HIT-30 Program be implemented under the same conditions in every province?
Yes. The HIT-30 Program will be implemented within the scope of the project-based incentive scheme and does not include any province-based differentiation.
Can a company only apply for a single sector or for a single project within a sector?
Each project will be assessed separately. In addition, if there are complementary projects in different investment areas, they may be evaluated together within the integrity of the overall investment.
Must all the qualifications specified in the call be met in order to apply for the HIT-30 program?
In order for the full scope of support under the call to be provided, it is expected that the investment criteria specified in the call will also be met. However, in cases where not all of the specified criteria are met, partial support may be provided at a level deemed appropriate for the project.
