The programme was launched on 19 May with an event held in Sarajevo and aims to help SMEs invest in the digitalisation of their businesses, alongside other investments to improve productivity, operational efficiency and resilience.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p><span lang=\"EN-GB\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p><span lang=\"EN-GB\">One of the elements of the programme will be a specialised credit line provided by the EBRD in cooperation with local financial institutions. The EU will provide grant incentives worth up to 15% of the total loan amount to make SME investments in digitalisation, automation, competitiveness and green technologies more affordable.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p><span lang=\"EN-GB\">The Head of the EU Delegation and EU Special Representative in Bosnia and Herzegovina, Johann Sattler, explained that the EU4SMEs Programme is part of the EU\u2019s assistance to support the recovery from the Covid-19 pandemic and the transition to a future-oriented economy. \u201cSMEs are a key driver behind economic growth and development, and support for digitalisation will help businesses to be more competitive in local and international markets. The EU\u2019s current Instrument for Pre-accession Assistance support to the green and digital transition amounts to some \u20ac50 million, and targets SMEs in particular. SMEs need to make full use of innovative technologies, skills and services, not only to grow on a more sustainable basis, but also to survive in the economy of the future.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p><span lang=\"EN-GB\">The programme will be accompanied by activities from Germany\u2019s GIZ, which will help to build an ecosystem for digitalisation, automation and innovation in Bosnia and Herzegovina, including digital innovation hubs, in line with EU best practice.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p><span lang=\"EN-GB\">The new Go Digital in Bosnia and Herzegovina programme contributes directly to the European Commission\u2019s Digital Agenda for the Western Balkans, which aims to support the
