Με απόφαση του Υφυπουργού Ανάπτυξης και Επενδύσεων, κ. Yannis Tsakiris, and based on the principle of equal treatment, gives the opportunity to prospective investors who were rejected because of the indication of identifying elements of their name in fields in the information system where it was not explicitly and unambiguously mentioned in the relevant calls, to rejoin the process for re-evaluation. The decisions relate exclusively to these cases, regardless of whether or not they challenged the relevant rejections, and if the evaluation is positive to co-finance them.

EPANEK - reassessment of 751 businesses

The present Decisions concern four actions of the Operational Programme "Competitiveness, Entrepreneurship and Innovation" (EPAnEK) with the corresponding numbers of investment projects, as presented below:

• "Upgrading micro and small enterprises to develop their skills in new markets":421 business plans
• "Support to tourism SMEs for their modernisation and the qualitative upgrading of the services provided" : 89 business plans
• "Strengthening Self-Employment of Higher Education Graduates – Cycle A": 92 business plans
• "Start-up entrepreneurship": 149 business plans

Finally, it is noted that this decision gives another opportunity for companies and beneficiaries, also affected by the coronavirus crisis, for eventual inclusion, which will provide them with liquidity in the medium term as most investment projects are expected to be at a mature stage (the actions were initially launched in 2016).
