About the programme

Three calls under the Sustainable Development and Just Transition Programme, for developing enterprises and entrepreneurship: support for newly created companies (start-ups) in Gorj (5 million EUR), Hunedoara (2.15 million EUR) and Galați (10 million EUR) counties. The call is part of the Sustainable Development and Just Transition Programme and is funded from the Just Transition Fund (JTF). Submission is planned between 31 October 2026 and 31 December 2026. The call's budget is 17.1 million EUR. Who can apply: private employers, public authorities and other applicants, under the guide for each county. The full conditions, the eligible expenses and the scoring are in the call's Applicant's Guide, on the official page; we do not copy them here so they do not go out of date. The submission dates come from the official MIPE call calendar (set of 8 October 2026) and the managing authority may move them.

What do these words mean?

Eligible

Eligible means you meet the programme's conditions. An eligible expense is one the programme can actually pay for; an ineligible one you pay yourself, even if the project is approved.

Applicant and beneficiary

The applicant is the one who asks for the funding. They become a beneficiary only after the request is approved and they sign the funding contract or decision.

Application session (call)

The period when the institution takes requests. Once it closes you can no longer apply, and sometimes the funds run out before the last day. A programme may have several sessions a year or only one.

Applicant's guide

The official document with all the rules: who can apply, which expenses count, which papers you need and how scoring works. If anything differs from what FonduRO says, the guide is what counts.

Non-refundable grant

Money you do not have to pay back if you follow the programme's conditions. It usually covers only part of the costs, and you put in the rest.
