Nord-Est, made real.
Nord-Est keeps being paid to do one thing more than any other: generic productive investment in small and medium–sized enterprises (‘smes’). Here's the rest of its funded life.
Nord-Est, a NUTS2 region in Romania (RO21), has received over €6 billion for 2,459 projects. This funding spans from 2008 to 2025, indicating a sustained period of European investment.
The European Union is supporting Nord-Est primarily through the European Regional Development Fund and the Cohesion Fund. Significant investment is directed towards generic productive investment in small and medium-sized enterprises, with 455 projects receiving over €210 million. Further funding supports digitising SMEs, alongside substantial investment in health infrastructure, which accounts for 166 projects totalling nearly €120 million.
Funding in Nord-Est has seen a shift. The last three years recorded approximately €1.9 billion in awarded funds, which is less than half of the €4 billion allocated in the preceding period.
