Opportunities for Shippers and Transport Operators
The Marco Polo Programme is specifically intended to help cover initial losses of new intermodal services and logistical innovations. Applying for participation in the programme is possible once a year. Entrepreneurs in the transport and logistics sector who want to contribute toward achieving modal shift or transport reduction have the opportunity to apply for subsidy from the European Commission. The programme is applied for the implementation of new line services including, if any, supply chain distributions, in-out logistics, production processes changes and production sites developments/relocations.
We are talking about something tangible and real. No talks, nor “fried air”.
It is worthwhile to take this programme into consideration. A total of 450 million euro is available until 2013 for start-up subsidies for projects with viable business plans.
But the truth is that many operators dont even try to apply for funds. Why? First of all the lack of understanding, know how and experience related to the complexity of ‘Brussels’ rules, programmes, tenders, procedure and funds. Often what is unknown becomes not interesting. And this is a mistake because to miss opportunities means to hamper the growth.
In many cases resources to initiate or participate in projects are limited. For many companies preparing and submitting a grant application is an activity that has to take place in addition to the regular operational activities. This can mean that insufficient resources are available to pay the necessary attention to the many relevant details of Marco Polo and to comply with the strict deadlines.
