5.6 Complementarity between Priorities

The selected priorities and proposed interventions have been designed to be broadly complementary to each other, reflecting the priority axes of the ERDF regulations as they apply to regions under the Competitiveness and Employment objective. A number of specific interventions have potential for explicit complementarity with each other. For example:

  • There is a potential strong relationship between the ICT, intervention and micro-enterprise, e.g. by boosting the capability of enterprise and of promoting the establishment of ICT-based micro-enterprise;

  • There is a strong complementarity between interventions to boost the role of the designated growth centres and the RTDI interventions, since the main RTDI related institutions are located in the gateways and hubs in the BMW region;

  • There is scope for complementarity between the RTDI interventions and those to protect the environment, e.g. by appropriately promoting environmental related RTDI (see also SEA report) .

  • There will be complementarity between the investment in public transport under Priority 3 and the deployment of clean energy public transport vehicles under Priority 2.
