Cohesion policy

Interreg is part of the EU regional policy, the main investment priority of the European Union.

It targets all regions and cities in the European Union in order to support job creation, business competitiveness, economic growth, sustainable development, and improve citizens’ quality of life. This is we also call it the cohesion policy.

In order to reach these goals and address the diverse development needs in all EU regions, € 392 billion – almost a third of the total EU budget has been set aside for Cohesion Policy for 2021-2027 (source: ec.europa.eu). The European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) is the part of this budget used to invest in the social and economic development of all EU regions and cities. The ERDF aims to strengthen economic, social and territorial cohesion in the European Union by correcting imbalances between its regions. In 2021-2027, it will enable investments in a smarter, greener, more connected and more social Europe that is closer to its citizens.

The projects financed in the regions and cities contribute to many EU policy objectives, such as the European Green Deal. The EU Cohesion Policy helps EU countries, regions, local governments and cities to implement large investments that contribute to the European Green Deal. They must devote at least 30% of what they receive from the European Regional Development Fund to these priorities. In addition, 37% of the Cohesion Fund will contribute specifically to achieving climate neutrality by 2050.
