Local Supply Promotion

Objective of the funding: In Tyrol, micro and small enterprises in the commercial sector with a valid trade license are supported in securing and improving regional local supply in the long term. Investments in tangible assets for new constructions or modernizations, as well as the implementation of alternative local supply systems in municipalities, districts, or town centers where basic supply is at risk, are eligible for funding. Applications can be submitted from March 1, 2024, until December 31, 2027. The measure aims to strengthen the economic stability and attractiveness of rural areas and to ensure comprehensive provision of food and essential goods.
