Ministry of Economy extends the SME Eco-Tech program until the end of 2026
The Ministry of Economy recently announced a new extension of the deadline for the SME Eco-Tech program. This decision comes in the context of low interest from companies in accessing the funds available under this project.
The new deadline set for submitting applications is December 30, 2026. The program is aimed at small and medium-sized enterprises that wish to invest in green technologies and digital solutions, with the main goal of modernizing their operations.
The total budget allocated for this initiative is approximately 289 million lei. Authorities hope that this additional period will give entrepreneurs more time to prepare the necessary documentation and access the non-reimbursable funding.
The program is part of a broader strategy to support the Romanian economy through digitalization and environmental protection. Interested companies are encouraged to consult the official website of the Ministry of Economy to learn about the eligibility criteria and the steps they need to follow.
This measure reflects the state's efforts to stimulate investment in technology, even during periods when market demand is lower. It remains to be seen whether the extension of the deadline will succeed in attracting a larger number of beneficiaries by the end of 2026.
