European Regional Development Fund (ERDF)

ERDF aims to promote sustainable development, competitiveness and social cohesion by specifically targeting investment to support economic growth and job creation. The fund is managed by the Ministry for Housing, Communities and Local Government. SEMLEP’s remit is to take a strategic view on how best to prioritise ERDF funding to deliver growth and jobs in the South East Midlands area.

The priorities identified for promoting economic growth through the ERDF are:

  • Priority Axis 1 a focus on strengthening research, technological development and innovation;
  • Priority Axis 2 a focus on enhancing access to, use and quality of, information communication and technology
  • Priority Axis 3 enhances the competitiveness of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs)
  • Priority Axis 4 supports the shift towards low carbon economies.

ERDF-funded projects meet stringent national eligibility requirements and fit with local priorities. These are outlined in the European Structural Investment Fund Implementation Plan. You can read more about national requirements in the European Regional Development Fund Operational Programme 2014-20.

Examples of projects that have secured ERDF Funding can be found in our IMPACT brochure. If you have any further questions on the above, please email info@semlep.com
