Vapro Romania in partnership with EurActiv organizes a conference about the ”Financing opportunities for agriculture and rural development – PNDR 2014-2020”, that will take place on 9^th of October 2015.

The event format will be based on a conference concept developed by EurActiv Romania in previous successful initiatives, being aimed at facilitating direct dialogue and relevant debates between public bodies and representatives of the private sector, large investments and SMEs.

According to AFIR data, the total value of the projects submitted through the new PNDR 2014 – 2020, until 28^th of September 2015 is about 265 million euros, while the current year’s deadline for the first sub-measures launched for the UE grants for agriculture and rural development is 30^th of October.

According to this context, through this conference, we are planning to organize an event that aims to bring together public authorities responsible for managing and implementing PNDR Programme (such as the Ministry of Agriculture, the Managing Authority of the Programme and the Rural Credit Guarantee Fund), representatives of banks that support and grant potential beneficiaries, consultants, service providers of necessary equipment for PNDR Programme (agricultural equipment, cutting-edge technology, infrastructure) and beneficiaries (including presentation of successful projects and also new methods to overcome the obstacles).

Toghether with Euractiv and VAPRO the event is also developed by UniCredit Bank, Romanian Commercial Bank (BCR), VAPRO Romania, Schuman Associates and Netherlands-Romanian Chamber of Commerce.
