Yugozapaden, made real.
Yugozapaden keeps being paid to do one thing more than any other: sme business development, support to entrepreneurship and incubation (including support to spin offs and spin outs). Here's the rest of its funded life.
Yugozapaden, a NUTS2 region in Bulgaria (BG41), has received substantial European funding. Between 2014 and 2026, the region was awarded €5,387,378,427 across 30,725 projects.
Funding in Yugozapaden primarily supports economic development and employment. A significant portion of the €5.38 billion is allocated to SME business development, advanced support services for SMEs, and energy efficiency projects. The European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) accounts for the largest share of funding, alongside contributions from the European Social Fund (ESF). These funds are directed towards fostering entrepreneurship, improving business competitiveness, and enhancing job access for various groups.
The region's funding trajectory shows a clear decline in recent years. The last three years saw €637,812,194 awarded, a considerable reduction compared to the €4,749,566,233 allocated in the preceding period.
