POIR (Smart Growth Operational Programme)
Smart Growth Operational Programme
Poland’s Smart Growth programme for 2014–2020
What it means
POIR, the Smart Growth Operational Programme, was a Polish programme in the EU’s 2014–2020 funding period. It supported research and development, innovation and commercialisation. FENG serves as its successor in the 2021–2027 period.
What it means for a business
POIR remains relevant when reading historical project documents or reviewing obligations from an earlier funded investment. A business seeking new support should check current programmes and calls rather than treating POIR as an open funding opportunity.
